President Johnson had called the attempted price rise inflationary and ordered placement on the market of 200,000 tons of aluminum surplus owned by the government at low prices. Confronting this, the industry coalesced as did the steel industry to President Kennedy in 1962. BRITAIN & RHODESIA, PART II Rhodesia, after declaring unilateral Independence from Great Britain, is the target of economic sanctions by most United Nations countries. Diplomatic relations have been severed with the government of Ian Smith and Parliament has voted Prime Minister Wilson sweeping powers to end the independent, white-superiority government. COLLINS EYES FLORIDA Who's going to run in the Florida gubernatorial primary elections next spring? Governor Haydon Burns is expected to, and Scott Kelly has said that he will, but will Miami's fairly liberal Mayor Robert King High? And will ex-Governor LeRoy Collins? Collins is now working as Undersecretary of Labor in Washington and has said he ''is giving serious consideration to the matter." COMMUNISTS TO CAMPAIGN This week the Supreme Court unanimously declared unconsltutlonal the 1950 Subversive Control Act which made Communists register with the FBI. American Communist Party leader Gus Hall said that the CP will run candidates in the next congressional elections for the first time in many years. The court said that the act was void because it made citizens testify against themselves contrary to the Bill of Rights. BURNS PUSHES TAX HIKE Should there be a raise of the sales tax from 3 per cent to 4 per cent, is the biggest question now at Talla- hassee: Governor Burns and many legislators feel that the extra penny could provide needed revenues for improving the schools. Although the tax would not be on groceries or medicines, opponents claim that it would be regressive — it would hit hardest the people who have the least money. BBC's FOUR-LETTER WORD Mrs. Mary Whitman, co-chairman of a society to clean up British television, and apparently thousands of other Britons, is Irate. A week ago the program "BBC-3," similar to the American show "TW-3." used a four-letter word which, according to Mrs. Whitman, "would lead to prosecution If used in the street." The producer has answered that he thought the word quite suitable, and furthermore that sexual Intercourse on television would be acceptable, too. Perhaps air the talk about eccentric Englishmen Is right after all. GREEK GAB ALPHA CHI OMEGA This Saturday the annual Alpha Chi Pledge Auction will take place. Fourteen "Greok" slaves will be sold for" an afternoon's work. Have a term-paper to be typed? Or Ironing to be done? Then buy yourself a slave this Saturday!

There wiU be contests for both men and women with five prizes to be awarded in each division. Stetson's best bowlers have signed up and it should prove to be an exciting tournament. The SUB Pool Tournament ot two weekends ago gave sophomore Town Hall the championship after a close game with second ranked Ralph Hampton. Preparations are now being made, for the annual Christmas Dance, the Snowball, scheduled for Dec. 4, in the DeLand High School Gym. Dress, for girls will be either long or short formals. More details will be given later. The Friday night movie this week Is "Captain Newman, M.D." starting at 7:00 in the Stetson Room. Admission is 25 cents. The Brick Palace will again host a record party this Saturday night from 8-12. Everyone—couples and stags—is invit ed and admission is free. By ALAN LITZ For those of you who rushed out to purchase un dictlonnaire for "Les Enfants Du Paradis," $.62 (tax included) was not spent in vain. You may need that handy little reference book for Saturday night's movie "Mon Oncle," which will be shown in the Stetson Room at 7:30 p.m. The film whose full title in English Is "My Uncle, Mr. Hu- lot" is a spoof on the push • button age. As a projection into the future the picture contrasts the onslaught of the mechanized life against the individual. NON-UNIQUE Jacques Tati is producer, director and co-author, with Jacques Legrange, of this cc- medy. His moviemaking style is a refreshing change, yet not at all unique. The theme is a familiar one. Under his direction the Debate Team To Challenge Strong Field By JAMES BOTH Wednesday, Stetson sent Larry Romans, Darlene Walker, Dave Demres, and Ken Taylor to Washington, D.C, to compete In the national Georgetown University debate tournament. In this eight round preliminary and four round elimination contest, Stetson will challenge such debate powers as Navy, Northwestern, the University of Miami, and other schools from as far away as California. In preparation for this contest several intra-squad debates were staged. IN ATLANTA Recently, Jay Mechling, James Roth, Betty Walker, and Dave Demers returned from Emory University's peachtree Debate Tournament. Although Stetson did not enter Into eliminations, the team succeeded In defeating such strong schools as Emory, Navy, and Georgia Tech. In additon to the gruelling six round tournament In which the teams debated both pro and con on. extending the freedom of law enforcement agencies, and extemporaneous speech contest was held. Jay Mechling received an "Excellent Speaker" award In the extemp competition. Coach Martha Womack was pleased that Stetson fared so well over-all hi competition with perhaps the best 35 varsity debate and extemp speakers' teams from the East. POLICE SPEAK Lieutenant; Nibler of the De- Land Police Force was Interviewed Nov. 5, by members of the squad and other interested parties. Among those topics discussed were the recent "Stop and Frisk" law in Miami, juve- nil deUquency In Volusia County, search warrants, and the concept of ''probable cause." Although the squad did not hold its usual Tuesday meeting this week, next Tuesday the public Is again invited to attend for a stimulating discussion of such topics as forensics and the state of law enforcement and crime in the United States. Plans for competition during the minimester and spring terms are being formulated. Those interested in participating should contact Coach Womack at the speech office In Sampson Hall. From this vantage point the furious activity of both the back ground and the foreground is caught on film. In simple terms Tati's comedy is the comedy of the occasional mistake. ■ camera is set In one position. BULLETIN Because the calendar' for this weekend Includes "Thurber Carnival" at Stover Theatre, the film classics series committee, to avoid a scheduling conflict, will not present "Mon Oncle" Saturday night. The next art film to be shown on campus, the last in the series for this semester, Is "Shoot the Piano Player," Saturday, Nov. 27. • Through its often hilarious episodes, "Mon Oncle" tries to show that modernity is not important but that personality is. The movie has been praised as "the greatest French comic film ever made." If nothing else, it could turn out to be one of the most expensive, at a production cost of $1,400,000. ALUMINUM HEROES The story itself is broken down Into two opposing factions. Or. one side are the protagonists of the gadget manufacturing who live in a fully automated, self- operating, and self-maintainini» aluminum residence. These are Mr. Helot's sister,, her husband, and a reluctant son, who is obviously the round peg of individuality In the square hole of conformity. Their opposition is headed by Mr. Helot; a man who wishes to tame down the race for the "better life." ,He is assisted by an Inefficient employee of, the department of sanitation, a big slob who sells groceries from the hind, quarters of an archaic delivery truck, a: sneaky old female . Janitor and her moronic daughter, several sinister schcol boys,; a few drunks, an over- stimulated canary, and an assortment of mangy mutts. The humor in "Mon Oncle" is a strong, factor in the past success of the picture. In many cases the .pictorials are effectively accompanied by lively music and sounds. One example of the humor in the story is the streetsweeper who does not sweep streets. This is just another of the visual jokes. " MAKING BOOK " ~ ■ One of the funniest rated passages in the picture Is the comedy scene in which four hard-eyed, ten-year-old gamblers squat in an empty lot, whistle at passing pedestrians, and make book on which one of them will look around, forget where he is, and crash into the nearest'lampost. • This film has been criticized because of Tati's discontentment at being just a great,comedian. His overemphasis on rationalizations became one of the pitfalls of the picture. - , "Mon Oncle," has been ctm- mented upon: "More sad and poignant: than> either of Tati's previous. movies ("Mr. • Hulot'a Holiday" and "Jour de Fete"), but individual- scenes are not any less laugh-provoking." By the same, token, * Jacques Tali has been praised:"... a gifted man, a composer of striking pictures, a percelver of the potentially comic in the everyday, a performer with a witty style." The awards won by "Mon Oncle." are Special Award, International Film Critics, 'and Cannes Film Festival. Stover Lifts Curtain On Thurber Tonight MEGALOMANIA — Walter : Mitty (Ned Ricks) guides two Navy pilots through, hurricane winds to safety in an episode from "Thurber Carnival." The play, with a cast of 34 actors, began its three-day run at Stover last night. (Photo by Kleinschmidt) By PAUL BEEMAN The Stover Players (34 of them) are staging James Thur- brr's "Thurber Carnival." There are three performances, each al 8 p.m., Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. This play, possibly better called a comic revue, opened on Broadway in 1960 with a cast including some of the best of the' current stage comedians- Paul Ford, Peggy Cass, Tom Ewell. SUBTLE 1930 There are a number of problems inherent in a college production of this comic drama. The wit of James Thurber is a bit too stilted and 1930-ish to be very funny to much of the audience. A good deal of the humor is too subtle to be presented effectively and, in some instances, such as the long popular Walter Mitty segment, the impossibility, of full-staging the introspective aspects of the role is nearly disatrpus. The cautious censoring of many of the revue's funnier, though risque, lines (e.g., "Old Nate Birge had nine daughters lying in the cemetery, but only two of them were dead.") also has a- crippling effect on audience reaction to the play. Many of the segments are overly long, not very funny buildups to single punchlines. Others are hilarious throughout with all too non-amusing end • ings. In toto, Thurber is not an extremely stageable author. CREDIBLE POLISH However, the enthusiasm of the 34 players involved enables it to be one of the most credible University. performances of recent years. The 17 different Scenes . require numerous cost • ume and scenery changes, considerably frantic running around; yet the backstage helter-skelter, results in a polished-appearing prdduction.""" "'* Ned Ricks (Walter Mitty) and Jay Mechling (James Thurber), the two leads from last season's "Volpone," again share the top billing. Both demonstrate Charity Drive Outdoes Goal By $3,229 By MARTHA SLATON The annual Green Feather drive terminated in success three weeks ago on October 23. Our goal was $3,000; we collected $6,228.93.

Butch Padgett, after a rather silent past season, returns to speaking roles in several good scenes. In one he plays a lecherous pet adviser and, in the "Tobacco Road" satire, he displays his versatility as an ignorant farmer. Padgett is also assistant director of the play. THE TRIANGLE Larry Williams, a newcomer to Stover Theatre, upstages the scene with his performance as a babblingi backwoods buffoon.

Blood Bank ill Return To Campus More.than 215 Stetson University ROTC cadets volunteered and 135 pints of blood were collected Monday during a .University and ROTC-sponsored blood drive for the Volusia County arm of the American Red Cross. The blood collected on the De- Land campus is marked for the Volusia County blood bank. The drive was held in the,University's Hulley Gymnasium. , After collecting the 135 pints of blood in a five hour period, from 1:30 to 6:30 p.m., ROTC and Red Cross personnel requested approximately, 60 donors to come back Thursday, Dec. 2, to make their contributions. On that day, the University again will sponsor a drive for those who wish to give blood. WhUa Monday's blood drawing involved only ROTC cadets, the Dec. 2 drive will be open to all Stetson faculty members and students. Dr. Eliot D. Allen, Stetson professor of English and- president of the Faculty Senate, pointed out that the Stetson student body established one of the first successful blood drives in Volusia County and has consistently been a leading donor group. Maj. Hewlett E. Rainer; University Professor of Military Science, worked closely with Dr. Allen,in setting up the University's ROTC drive, and said that the drawing was intended to supplement the regular Stetson blood bank drive. He was pleased with the number of cadets who volunteered for the drive on Monday, but expressed regret. that the overwhelming turnout depleted the Red Cross bottle supply and that time would not allow more cadets to contribute. Rainer praised tha Red Cross for their excellent cooperation, and said the December 2 drive would be more carefully planned to allow for mora time. He conveyed his appreciation to all Stetson men who participated in the drive and to tha ROTC company sponsors, who assisted Red Cross personnel by serving refreshment to the donors during the drive.
