Lettermen Make Big Snow For Staid Stetson Squaws By;DONNA SAMAL The Lettermen made 850 friends last Saturday night. That seems to be the general concensus, anyway. They not only entertained, they entranced. A real bond existed between the audience and the performers. The mood of the program was such an emotion-evoking one that much humor was necessarily injected. It would have been too exhausting otherwise. Whenever the house lights dimmed, the audience seemed to almost hold its collective breath. By the middle of the concert, everyone knew that when the colored spotlight focused, something great was about to happen. And each time, it did. From "softly", to "What Kind of Fool Am I," to "People" and on through an extremely well-timed (and beautiful)-rendition of songs from West Side Story the Letter- men seemed to offer their talent to "enlarge the souls" of those who listened. But then, the auditorium would once again blaze with lights and the ' audience would rock with laughter.' In , almost every instance, the tension was broken just at the right moment. It was a good thing, to,' because otherwise-one half of the Blood Drive To Be Held On Thursday, ■ Dec. 3, there will be a campus - wide blood drive. The blood drive is being sponsored by Delta Delta Delta in conjunction with the Volusia- Flagler Regional Red Cross Blood Program. The bloodmobile will be on campus from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Dec. -3. Appointments can be made on Dec. 1 and . 2 " in front of the S.U.B. To be eligible, the donor must be over 18. If the donor is under 21 and single, parental permission is required. The permission slips will be distributed in the dorms before the Thanksgiving vacation. Trophies will be given to the student organizations donating the most blood. Last year Delta Delta Delta. and Lambda Chi Alpha won the trophies. .The bloodmobile.has facilities for 120 pints of blood. Last year 120 pints. of blood were, donated during the blood drive. The goal for Stetson this.year is to equal the donation of last year. 'f. audience (the half wearing dresses) "might just have floated happily away to live forever on a beautiful cloud somewhere in never-never land. Now about this communication between the audience and the performers. It was a real give and take type thing. And when the Letter- men gave to the audience a round of applause, — they seemed to really: mean it. As the crowd streamed out of Elizabeth, Hall, everyone seemed so, happy, so thrilled, almost captivated.' y "' ."•■* It is difficult to decide. Should the Lettermen start wearing their letter, sweaters again? Judging, from their reception at Stetson; they could wear a "W" on their sweaters, and it would stand for "Wonderful!"
