EXCITING TRIP The 40 members of the Choir's Tour-Squad experienced much more than numerous singing engagements. The trip was filled with meeting' people and much sightseeing which included many educational and historical areas. The first place visited was the beautiful Cypress Gardens where everyone enjoyed the ski show and a trip through the gardens. Along another line, in West Palm Beach the choir visited the beautiful, yet to be completed First Baptist Church. While there, part of the choir tested the .church's acoustics using one of the tour numbers. Another church which was visited was the beautiful Episcopal Church in Palm Beach, Bethesda-By-the- Sea. Enroute down the coast on highway A1A, everyone got a very, good look at the Florida "Gold Coast." Later on a trip was made along the fantastic "hotel row" of Miami Beach. While in Miami a number of the Choir members made a trip down to the "Keys" as far south as Marathaon. Even though the weather had turned somewhat cool, several went swiiriming. THE GREAT ONE One of the most exciting events of the tour was getting to see "The Jackie Gleason Show" which is taped each week' in the Miami Beach Auditorium. It was through the efforts of some Stetson alums that' the tickets were obtained for the show. This particular evening Phyllis Diller was the special guest arid this'Show is scheduled to be on TV" in" approximately two weeks. This, lor most of the Choir, members was an educational experience. Crossing the, state, the Choir learned about the importance of Lake, Okachobee and its dikes. . Also learned.' was the effect these dikes had on the lives of thousands of people in the Pahokee area. ■ In Sarasota' the , Choir visited both, the Ringling Museum of art end home, Ca D'Zan. Currently at the Art Museum is a display of "modern art, on loan from the Guggenheim Museum in New York. In connection with the Art Museum is the only original Italian 18th century theater in America, the Asolo Theater. It was ■ purchased by the state of Florida in 1950, and is used today! for programs of films, lectures, and concerts. While in Tampa, the Choir visited the new University of South Florida and toured their music building. Other campuses visited were Florida Presbyterian and'the Stetson Law School in St. Petersburg. Even though the Law School was closed for break, everyone was allowed to . look: around, go to the top; of the tower, and inspect the beautiful •Law Library. , The last day of the tour found the Choir in Lake Wales and at the beautiful Bok Tower.in time lor the Carillon Recital by Anton Brees, the Bellmaster of the Singing Tower. Following this was visited mosaic reproduction of Leonardo Da Vinci's "The Last Supper." This amazing reproduction is awe inspiring to the many thousands who visit it yearly. :A large number- ol alums turned out to hear the Choir's perform'ances. Most memorable of these was Dr. Carrol Ezell of Lake Wales. Dr. Ezell is the eon of the late Boyce Ezell, pro- lessor emeritus of Stetson. While Sn Lake Wales he entertained the entire choir for dinner in one ol the local restaurants. It was a meal which many of the Choir ore. still talking'.'about.,- , -•' Dr. Ezell showed a tremendous Interest in the Choir and Stetson University. This interest was typical of that shown the Choir throughout the entire tour. During the tour 75 alums signed the new book provided by the Alumni Office for such occasions and there were some present who did not sign the book. Mr. Dick Thtrwell, Alumni Director, was with the Choir most of the trip.' Along the tour numerous '• receptions weie held for the Choir and Stetson alums. The Stetson Glee Club was one of the, first in the state and among the first to travel. It has an enviable reputation in Florida: In 1909 the club first sang at the inauguration of a Florida Governor.' In later years, Doyle Carlton, Tampa, a member of this group, himself became the State's Chief Executive. The name of the Glee Club was changed in the fall of 1960 to the Stetson University Concert Choir. This year there are 11 states representated in the Choir's membership. By TOM HENDRY Last Saturday, the Communist Viet Cong attacked South Viet Nam: eight American soldieis were killed. The next day 49 U.S. jets bombed Communist installations on the border and did some photographic reconnaissance. Thereafter, Russian Premier Kosygin visited North Viet Nam's head-of-state; Peking announced that attacks against the Viet Cong are considered, as hostilities against 'China." Meanwhile, Republicans Nixon, Dirk- sen, and Lodge are supporting the Administraion policy. Democrats in the House overwhelmingly voted to lift the present ban of surplus food shipments to the United Arab Republic. The economic ban was a rebuttal for damages to U.S.,Information libraries in Egypt and', for Nasser's statement that American foreign - aid distributors "could go drink water from the sea." ..

In the fashion world, noted hair stylists Kenneth, Enrico Caruso, and Monti have been predicting this year's trends. Kenneth: "Women will be wearing their hair shorter and curlier — a soft look however." Caruso: "Hair will be of medium short length and full, but not teased." Monti: "I am making hair longer and fuller for the coming season." The big controversy is between Caruso. and Monti. The former says that hair styles in fashion magazines are designed specifically for the clothes, that most Women do not wear this type of apparel and would feel ridiculous wearing one, of the ultra- coiffures. His suggestion: "I would strongly advise a woman to get three of the best hairpieces she can afford and add the glamor when the, occasion arises." Monti, the "rebel with scissors," counters: "The - wig is definitely out. Women should go back to deciding on a good style for themselves and then take very good care of their haii-."
