The twentieth session of the United Nations opened in New York City on September 21. Amitone Fan- fani, ex-prime minister of Italy, was elected a president of the General: Assembly. The membership, of the body was increased from "114 to 117- with the addition- of three new members. On October 4, Pope Paul VI intends to fly to New York to address the United Nations and hold an open-air mass in Yankee Stadium afterwards. President Johnson is planning to fly to New- York also to meet with the Pope during his one day stay, the first such trip ever made, by a reigning pontiff.

This will eliminate the need for strict state control of production and make the industries much more sensitive to consumer demand, thus eliminating, hopefully, much of the inefficient waste thai has marked ihe Soviet economy for years. This new plan is io be instituted between 1966 and 1970 and will Include increased fringe benefits for workers and more acceptable prices for ihe consumers. MIAMI AIRPORT AND AFTER The tragic case of the deaf-mute thirteen-year-old boy who was abandoned in the Miami International Airport has been solved. After his mother, the well-to- do Mrs. Victor Thorne of Chicago, had been found, the story unfolded. She, explained that she had removed the boy, Ricky, from a special school for deaf-mutes so that he might stay, at home with her. She apparently found herself unable to live with the situation and bought both she and Ricky tickets to Miami, but only a single ticket, back ^pme, for herself, hoping that "someone might find him and take good care of" him." She is being held for psychological testing. GENERAL WALKER IN DELAND The American Educational Association Intends io distribute io a half million college students ihe book "None Dare Call It Treason" by John Stormer. Herbert Philcheck, a lecturer for the John Birch Society, said ihe book will be free but contributions will be solicited. Another rightist. Ma). Gen. Edwin A. Walker, speaking in ihe auditorium of the DeLand Junior High School last Wednesday, berated many government leaders as "dupes and puppets" and spoke of ihe "international Communist conspiracy." Among his targets were Martin Luther King, President Johnson, General Eisenhower, Secretary of Defense McNamara, and the World Council of Churches. CANDIDATE VS. PROFESSOR One of the hottest issues in the New Jersey gubernatorial race this year is the question of academic freedom. Last April, history professor Eugene Genovese of Rutgers University, the state college, spoke to an all night teach-in on the subject of Viet Nam by beginning with the statement that he was a known Marxist. State Senator Wayne Dumont, Republican candidate for governor, has taken this remark and has used it in his demands to have Genovese fired. The board of governors has consistently backed the professor, saying that freedom of thought and expression are essential to the American system. The issue is far from resolved and the final outcome may well be an important milestone in the perennial problem of freedom of speech in the academic world.

Rick still loves Ilsa (when Sam, his Negro pianist, sits in the dark playing "As Time Goes By," Rick is consumed by "that old, irrestible feeling"). He holds the only tow passports which will guarantee his and the girl's escape. What Rick does about this dilemma helps make this a tremendously convincing and thrilling story of wartime feeling. FIRST ORDER "Casablanca" was hailed by the New York Times as "... .a;picture which makes the spine 'tingle andthe~heart take-a4eap- ... a tender love story within the folds of a tight typical theme "and" The performances of the actors are all of the first order." "Good writing, a brilliant cast, and artful direction add up here to a superior show... The show makes a great deal of sense, in addition to being a striking thriller. It has sustained interest as well as excitement. Put it on your recommended list.. .Humphrey Bogart has rarely been more forceful than he is as the disillusioned domocrat, fighting the Axis long before the rest of his campatriots" says the Herald' Tribune. MUCH ACCLAIM Awards won by "Casablanca" are — Academy Awards: Best Production, Best Direction, and Best Screenplay, 1943; One of the Ten Best English Language Films of the Year and Best Direction Award, and National Board of Review.

The 1962 Carioteer Poetry Stetson Receives Over 2.6 Million In Financial Gifts ON SOUTHERN TOUR — The Serendipity Singers performed in fall concert at the University last month. After the reception which followed, the folk group spent the night in Daytona before ■ playing at Miami the next day. The concert, sponsored by Student Government, was a sell-out. A record total of gifts in excess of $2,600,000—the largest in Stetson University's history — was announced by President J. Ollie Edmunds to members of the Board of Trustees recently. The Board was on the DeLand -campus for its first meeting of the new academic year. The financial gifts announced by Dr. Edmunds were received during the University's fiscal year, June 1, 1964, to May 31, 1965. Of the $2,600,976, he said alumni contributed $89,345; corporations and business firms, $79,390; trustees, $192,435; parents and former parents, $16,- 066;. other friends and associates, $298,557; the Florida Baptist Convention, $351,668; wills, bequests, and trust, $689,274; and foundations, $884,239. represeN^iScreases The figures, according to Dr. Edmunds, represent increases in giving over last year's gifts" of 25 per cent by alumni, 20 per . cent by corporations and businesses, 60 per cent by parents and former parents, and almost 40 per cent by churches of the Florida Baptist Convention. The latter group, he said, continues , to be "the largest single regular contributor to the operating fund of the University. This year they gave more money than ever be-, fore." Dr. Edmunds said he feels these churches sense "an . awareness of the growing importance of church colleges." ; Enrollment on the DeLand campus, Dr. Edmunds, pointed out, shows a 7 per cent increase over last fall. "We have the largest number of students since 1947-48 on the DeLand campus," he said. "There are ,1,749 enrolled here, while the University's College of Law in St. Petersburg also is experiencing its "largest enrollment ever, with 279 students. There are 119 first-year law students, as compared with 108 last year, and 90 of these are from Florida schools. FROM 36 STATES In further enumeration of the University's enrollment by colleges and schools, Edmunds told the Trustees there are 1,312 enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts, 312 in the School of Busi- ' ness Administration, and 125 in the School of Music. Stetson's students are from 36 states and 21 foreign countries. Dr. Edmunds said the number of students who remain at the University to complete their studies has increased steadily over the past three years, going from 64 per cent in 1963 to 69 per cent. in 1965. OTHER REMARKS In other remarks to the Board of, Trustees, Dr. Edmunds re- minded the group that only a] year ago, they were "talking, about plans for new buildings., Today, these plans are realities," he reported, "with sites, cleared and construction begin- v ning in the next few weeks on' a $1,460,000 science building and a $500,000 School of Business' Administration." He added that Fraternities Pledge 100-Plus Students . . . More than 100 students have been selected as new pledges by the six "national fraternities on campus as a result of the IFC Open Rush for the fall semester; 1965, according to University fraternity adviser Arthur "Red" Alderman. The largest number of male students, 24, was pledged by Delta Sigma Phi, followed by Pi Kappa Alpha, 20; Lambda Chi Alpha, 19; Sigma Phi Epsilon, 1« • -o\ Kippa Phi, 14; and Sigma Nu, 8. plans have been procured and drawings completed for a new • $640,000 residence hall for men on the DeLand, campus, and construction work will soon commence on administrative offices and classroom facilities at the College of Law. "It is pleasant to be able to also report that increased gifts made it possible to assist 630 needy students with, grants-in- aid and loans amounting to more than $700,000," he said, adding that "approximately one- third of our students receive some kind of (financial) help. "More and more of our students are going to graduate schools," Dr. Edmunds continued. "Once again they led the entire southeast region" proportionately as winners- of the Woodrow Wilson Fellowships.". He also stated that "as in every former issue of 'Who's Who in America', our graduates led the state in the proportion of gradu- • ates included :in. the : 1965 -edition." President Edmunds concluded: by, pointing out that while 1964- 65 has been "a great year for Stetson, ' the future provides challenges that are even more exciting." He explained to the trustees that "while it is wonderful to have new buildings, these facilities require increased expenses of operation. This is why we must keep in mind that to meet these:expanding,..needs: in the next decade will require a minimum in-new gifts of $25,- 000,000. NEW CHALLENGES "These expanding requirements should not disturb anyone," he said. "On the contrary, they should be heartening to all who love free institutions. Encouraging increases in contributions coming'from more and more people who believe in independent, voluntarily-supported Christian institutions should strengthen our confidence in the future. It should increase our faith to know that so many others are joining us in the very important task of strengthening Christian universities of excellence." Award was given to Professor Corrington and he has been asked to record for the Library of Congress Poetry Archives. His books of poetry include Where We Are, The Anatomy of Love, Lines to the South, and Mr. Clean and other poems. And Walt for the Night, his first novel, tells of the post-civE war problems in Louisiana. His readings centered around the myths that, man encounters today — the bomb, coming of age, religion, and love. His message hits home, as exemplified in his poem, "The Mystic'*: Someone was always1 asking him the time of day,'expecting him to be precise; Another wanted a nickel for a dime'.,... ; At tables he was always asked to slice the meat because he had a style of carving to the bone with even strokes.. Each afternoon he walked a tortured mile, At evening charmed the neighbors with his jokes and never thought to mention what he saw scrawled on the office , wall, ,,' ...... Or how the Jews kept baiting him and howling for the'law While someone tuned from music to the news No use to press the mandate of a king or tell them what he suffered every spring., Williams further shatters the beatnik image. He's married and has .. three children and; the "Lucy" of several poems is his wife. His outstanding list of awards include the 1957 Henry Bollaman Poetry Award, the 1963 Breadloaf Fellowship in Poetry, the 1963-64 Amy Lowell Traveling Scholarship in Poetry, and in 1964 he served as the U.S. Delegate to the 1st Pan-American Conference _ of University Artists and Writers, * ■•■•',- ' He'spent a yeir-at-the; Uni; versify of Chile as Visiting Professor of U.S. Literature and his work appears in the: Recorded American Poets Collections the Library of Congress. His books include A Circle of Stone, Recital, and forthcoming is New Writing from the South, which he and Professor Corrington are editing. . v The recollections of William's "Uncle Charlie," and questions posed-by his young son were included in his readings. People who" have tried to create something original would appreciat* his poem, "The Musician": Because he played a pretty good piano I showed him a poem done on , a certain day He read with such a stillness I sat on^ my back behind him And smoked without moving He looked at me a minute before he spoke Isn't this spelled with two N's he said And he sat there lighting a cigarette \ And smiling like Jesus Other events of the festival Included a student luncheon with the poets; Copies of their books are available in the library. The S.U.B. Education Committee under Chairman Bonnie Moffatt directed the festival.
