New Acting Dean Of Men, Dr. Holmes^ Tells Year's Plans, Introduces Staff By RICHARD KARBERG Holding forth ' this year as Acting Dean of Men is Dr. Ed Holmes, who also holds the title of Chariman of the Philosophy Department. Dr. Holmes took up this new position adding to a long list.of jobs he has accepted since his teaching career began at Stetson a few years ago. Dr. Holmes' previous' duties have included teaching, soccer' coach official, and Secretary- Treasurer of the Florida Baptist Historical Association. TAKES NERVE Nerve was one thing, said Holmes,'that,made him take on' this added task this year. 'Work on the Student Affairs Commit tee and its disciplinary sub- comittee gave Holmes added incentive to take his new position. Dr. Holmes cautioned the University . community to remember he is acting in his present capacity for only a year while Bill Baggett, Dean of Men, is away at the University of Alabama working on his PhD. in guidance. Baggett will return for the 1965 academic' year "to resume his previous duties. . While Holmes holds hours for only a half day in the Dean of Men's office, he spends a considerable amount of time "after hours" at his new position. Few changes were made in the administration of his office Stetson Pool Exists! (So Do Leprechauns) By ART SKIBBE With the prophecy of Dr. J. Ollie Edmunds, President of the University, that, "in the years to come, those who had a part in it are going to be as proud of: this as of anything they've. done at Stetson," construction work oh the Stetson swimming pool began last Monday morning. Last Monday morning, April 4, 1960, that is according to the April 8, 1960 Reporter. Stetson's phantom swimming pool which has been appearing and disappearing for longer than most of the students have been alive is once again a topic of news. The student senate vesterday received a petition from Ted Brousseau, junior senator, asking in essence, "Let's build a swimming pool." The resolution says: RESOLUTION NO. 20 . RESOLUTION EXPRESSING A NEED FOR CLARIFICATION TO A MAJOR PROBLEM ON CAMPUS. WHEREAS: The Student Body of Stetson University has in the past raised by hard work some $13,372.62 which is in a Swimming Pool Fund; and WHEREAS: On April 4, 1960, a ground-breaking ceremony was held for the start of a swimming pool BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED BY THE STUDENT SENATE THAT A STATEMENT BE MADE TO EXPLAIN WHY STETSON UNIVERSITY DOES NOT HAVE A SWIMMING POOL ON CAMPUS. Demos. - GOP Will Debate The Young Democrats have challenged the Young Republicans to a debate which will be held on Tuesday, October 6, at 7:00 p.m. in Allen Hall. The debate will examine the issues in the area oC foreign policy. Presenting the case for Lyndon Johnson will be Dr. Evans C. Johnson, Professor of American History, and Larry Romans of Ihe Y.D.s. Presenting the case for Barry Goldwater will be Gen. Chorpening of the Math Department and Bob Alf ord of the Y.R.s. So, once again the swimming pool is a campus, issue. It will first have to be passed by the student government, then go to a multitude of other, places, known only by the initiates. And, who knows, maybe the pool will become a reality this year. Maybe, the sky will i fall. with the exception of the addition of a staff to aid in its work. NEW STAFF Holmes announced that add- tions. to the staff included Ron Clifton in charge of Off-Campus Housing, Arthur "Red" Alderman supervising fraternity affairs, Charles Lipthrott in charge of the Freshmen Men's- Residence Area, and Criss Crisswell assisting those freshmen men with academic difficulties. The administration has plans under consideration for the construction of another men's dormitory. This is another task the Dean of'Men's office will assist. In as much as the Dean of Men, and the Acting" Dean are involved with entire field of student affairs, Dr. ' Holmes was interrogated about one of the most provocative proposals relative to this area, an honors code. Holmes was pessimistic about the outcome of such a system "unless there is positive support by student body leadership." Holmes contrasted the present situation with last year which he said "did provide; the leader-, ship." One of the faults with the present situation, said Holmes, was that issues not relevant to the issue are being introduced. tmm Chuck Bugg Relates GA Purpose, Goa 1 ByARTSKIBBE "The honor system is the most important goal of our Student Government Association this year," Chuck Bugg, president of the SGA, told the freshman class at Monday's assembly. 'Chuck ended his speech with reference to the proposed honor system which he said he hopes the students will put into effect before this academic year is over. The bulk of his speech was" an explanation to the new students of the objectives and goals, of the student government for,the coming year, but the final emphasis was placed on the honor system. Stetson University, the student body president stated, is based on the foundations of God and truth, and an honor system would be a formal statement of these beliefs rather than a "big brother" type of watching system. . , If Stetson is to continue on these premesises, "It is hypocri- cy that we should.be watched by a professor while taking an exam," Chuck told the freshmen. As those who were here last year might remember, Chuck ran on an extensive platform, and campus opinion varied on whether he would carry out his campaign promises or forget them after the election. Monday Chuck restated his platform, piece by piece, and promised that he would work on each section. The basis of his platform rested on closer communication and closer co-operation between the student government and the student body. Chuck said he hoped that his speech of the. year's plans would be the first step in expanding student knowledge of the working of the government and promoting closer relations between the governed and "the governors. Included in the student governments objectives to be investigated and possibly acted upon tills academic year are: —An expanded program of guest lecturers and entertainers. —More diversified assemblies. —Re-apportionment of the studnt government with emphasis on providing representation for graduate students and giving the liberal arts school a more equal balance of representation. —Investigation of the university's policies concerning fi-' nancial aid and required meal tickets. —A • university employment service under the direction of the student government, working with DeLand businesses to pro- \ide Stetson students with off- campus employment. —The possibility of Student Government Association sponsored chartered buses to take students home for the vacations. Also, Chuck said, there are several aspects of campus life that could be improved, but for loasons financial or otherwise the improvement may or may not be possible at this time. Included in this category and presently being investigated or slated for investigation by the SGA are: —Expanded on-campus parking. —Better lighting in both the men's and women's dorms. —More phones for the womens d^rms. —Milk machines for the men's dsrms. ' - —Repairs, on'the washing machines in the women's dorms. —A speaker system in the men's dorms that would operate similarly to the system now used in the women's dorms, i Chuck reported -that at this time it appeared that cost would P"ohibit this, project.) He also reported on the to-be organized . business relations (ouncil, set up this year by the SGA to promote understanding MARGARET JOST was crowned Pi Kap Beauty Queen at the contest on fraternity row Saturday night. With her are her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Jost. Mr. Jost is also a freshman at Stetson this year. j Traffic Hours The Stetson traffic office has announced its hours for the semester. Effective at once, the office will be open: Monday, 2:30—5:00 p.m. Tuesday, 10:00—12:00 a.m. . Wednesday, 2:30-3:30 p.m. Thursday, 10:00—12:00 a.m. Friday, 12:00—3:30 p.m. Saturday, 10:00—12:00 a.m. Persons having questions or problems concerning the traffic conditions on campus should plan to visit the office in the SUB lobby at these times. between Stetson students and local merchants. If a Stetson student ever has any problems with a DeLand merchant, he should bring his grievances to this council and they will deal with the merchant. Also, if a businessman has any. trouble with a student he should report it to this council and they will deal with the student, he explained. A report on the curriculum evaluation undertaken by the student government last year will be announced soon, Chuck said. He ended his speech by saying that the honor system is still in the formative stages and emphasized, that the success or failure of the proposal will depend oh the enthusiasm and support of the student body. Film Series To Present Russian Movie'Nevsky' By TOM HENDRY Thursday at 8:00, the Film Classics Series will present Alexander- Nevsky, a Russian epic whose hero, like El Cid, rallies a nation against invading barbarians. Prior to its showing, Dr. Sergei Zenkovsky, chairman of Russian studies and author of a recent book concerning medieval Russian legends, will outline the historical context of this movie. Filmed in 1938, Alexander Nevsky focuses on a spectacular battle waged across a frozen lake in Russia. 'Thirteenth-century Crusaders, Knights of the Teutonic Order, are launching a massive attack against the motherland. Facing this challenge, Prince Alexander Nevsky gathers an enormous army, marches onto the snow- covered lake, defeats the invaders, and saves Russia.. This motion picture served originally as Soviet propaganda in its ideological conflict with the pre-war Nazi movement in Germany — the notion being that Russia had once before de- Slate Meets The Young Dems . will' meet every other Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in Room 205, SUB throughout the school year. Prospective members.and interested observers are invited to attend the next meeting on October. 8. At the Y.D. meeting last Thursday, it was decided that the first event of the year would be to challenge the Y.R.'s to a debate which will involve issues in foreign policy in the presidential campaign. In preparation for this, debate, to take place on October, 6 at 7:00 p.m. in Allen Hall, try-outs were held Monday night in the SUB. Dr.-Evans Johnson, professor of History, and Larry Romans will represent the Y.D.S. After the debate re- freshments will, be served and campaign material will'be avail-, able. In addition to the debate, an active program has been planned for'the year which will include prominent guest speakers, documentary films, and most of all, an active participation in the national campaign on a local level. feated Teutonic Invaders. However, Alexander Nevsky moves beyond propaganda and spectacle. Sergei Prokofiev, considered by Russia as a twentieth century composer second only to Stravinski, wrote the soundtrack to this film, one of his few, but outstanding contributions to the industry. The music is done with full orchestra and chorus. Sergei Eisenstein directed this movie. Arising from a background in the circus and in play direction, Eisenstein became a universally-acclaimed leader in the cinema. His earlier works, Potemlrin and Ten Days that Shook the World, deal with the Revolt of 1905 and place him in the mass- epic field. His greatest innovation is that of giving special attention to the editing. Eisenstein, in an effect which he called "shock attraction,!' constantly filled the screen with action. His flare for a newsreel-type motion picture created much enthusiasm in the new industry. ■ Eisenstein is remembered for startling juxtapositions from ihs editing room, such" as a Cossack slashing at an enemy followed abruptly in the next sequence by a woman, her glasses broken, clutching at her face. Alexander Nevsky is the see- • ond production of this season's Film Classics Series chairman- ed by Richard Dowling. Movies are presented at Stover Theatre. Activity tickets serve as admission for all students, faculty, and administrators; for local ' residents, the charge is $.50. Season tickets are available at the box office for $4. The Film Classics Series Is designed to present internationally-acclaimed motion pictures in order to point out that creative talents are making signifi: cant contributions to the cinema as an art form. ■ In line with the universal aspect of the motion picture industry, this year's program includes films from' Japan, Russia, Italy, France, Greece, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Sweden, and the United States.
