Eighty-three incoming Freshmen hold this distinction. A Stetson Scholar is chosen from his high school record and his SAT scores. Approximately 17 per cent of this year's freshman class is so honored. The'title, University Scholar, does not carry a stipend, since all aid at Stetson.is granted according to need. However, if financial aid is needed, the scholar students receive top priority in consideration. Freshman honors courses are offered to Stetson scholars whose academic and leadership records indicate an ability to handle difficult materials, and to benefit from independent research and study. • • •''■'• • Among the .

Cheese has become a major Issue In Britain. The Cardiff Temperance Council wants to pan Hchester, a new type of cheese containing beer. Says the Council: "It represents'a grave danger to the children- of onr country. A taste of this - could set them on the downward path to drunkenness." Ken Seaton, the developer of this cheese, replied that a person would have to eat 20 pounds of Ilchester to get the equivalent of a pint of beer.

Carleton, nationally recognized specialist on political parties and Professor Emeritus of ■ Political Science and History at the' University of Florida, will appear at Stetson University, Wednesday evening, October 14, at 8 p.m. Sponsored by the University Artists and Lecturers Committee, the program will be presented in the Elizabeth Hall auditorium. Dr. Carleton will present a timely analysis of the issues in the present presidential campaign. He has just completed an 11 state tour, gathering materials and information on this subject. In addition to Stetson, his current lecture tour includes New York University, Haverfqrd College and Princeton University. He has correctly predicted the winners in the last three presidential elections. lessor of American Studies • at Stetson University, who told members of the Democratic Woman's Club of West Volusia that neither of the books is honestly documented. Dr. Critoph noted that these books are passed off by their publishers as historically documented analyses of the leadership in the United States but that neither passes the most basic tests of historical writing. • "Both might be used as examples of effective propaganda techniques," .Dr. Critoph said. "The fact that many very, sincere persons have been taken in by these; attacks on the fabric of our life is proof that the German Nazis and the Russian Communists were not' the only ones in the. world to succeed in blinding good people to their evil intent." BOOKS VICIOUS The Stetson professor said the books are "vicious" in the same way that Nazi propaganda was vicious. "They use a veneer of credibility and respectability to destroy the very democratic way of life that they piously claim to want to protect or restore," he said. "They play on ] the fears of those persons who see threats to their hard-won success or to their possibility of winning success. They try to prove that there is a gigantic conspiracy afoot to take away all or much of what- they think is theirs." Dr. Critoph noted that on the back of "None Dare Call it Treason," written by John Stormer, the publisher said, "You won't finish . .'. this book . . .without concluding that America is in serious trouble." • Critoph said he did not think the author believed in America. "He hates it. He does not have the faith in the ordinary people and their leaders that has marked the American character and American democracy for over 300 years," Dr. Critoph said. Dr. Critoph cited the way Stormer "distorted statistics" for his purposes and the manner in which he "discredited loyal Americans by,tricking the reader into identifying these people with groups discredited by most Americans." SMEAR TECHNIQUE Prof. Critoph next detailed to his audience the many ways he said J. Evetts Haley used effective smear propaganda techniques to assassinate the character of President Lyndon B. Johnson, in Haley's book, "A Texan Looks at Lyndon." Although the publisher lists Haley as "America's finest historical writer" Prof. Critoph said of 'the many historians'he knew none ever heard of Haley until (Continued oh.Page Three) meet at 5 p.m. for a discussion of procedures and' rules to be observed during the campaign and election.

Anyone wishing to play in this tournament should sign up in the SUB,lounge no later thanThurs- day, Oct. 15, at 5:00 p.m. Prizes will be awarded to the winners. Next month Student Government will begin publicizing committee reports on a proposed honors system for Stetson. Initial work on this project, one of the platform goals of SG ^resident Chuck Bugg,. was ten- "itively outlined last spring. An hnnors system constitution has been drawn up this week by Cvol Taylor's committee under the aegis of Dick Shufford's department of student welfare. A. pi eamble stating the objectives of the honors system is forthcoming. CAMPAIGN STARTS Brochures will be distributed to all students, November 23, explaining the final draft of this proposal. Assemblies, upper- class and freshmen, will be scheduled during which student speakers are to acquaint the student body with the advantages of having an honors system. • If the Senate passes this bill, students will vote on the question, December 15; a simple majority of the votes cast is needed for acceptance. If the honors system carries, it will be in ef- feet next fall. Briefly, an honors system works on the principle that students should assume the responsibility of judgment on ques- tions of student violations of conduct, whether academic or social. It generally covers theft, cheating, lying, and the passing of bad checks. The benefits of an honors sys- •tem are basically expressed in the form of confidence, on the faculty's part, In the moral integrity of a student body. Dr. D. M. Beights of the business ' school has already instigated an academic honors system in his accounting classes.'His students, who favor this type of policy, are not proctored, may leave the room during tests, and are not asked to leave their textbooks out of class. APPROVAL EXPRESSED , Dr.' Edmunds, president of the university, Chuck Bugg, the faculty and administration have expressed their approval of an honors system. Although students, in 1958, vetoed a similar proposal, they feel the plan under consideration now wlill be a more extensive, better-worded document arid better-received. Stetson Prof Gives Talks In Orlando Dr. D. M. Beights, professor of accounting at Stetson University was. a featured speaker at the recent meetings of the Mid- Florida Chapter, National Association of Accountants, in Orlando, and the Central Florida chapter, Institute of Certified Public Accountants, also in Orlando. .'.-;• "Shall we Become Professional?" was Dr. Beights' subject at the Orlando meeting. In his remarks, he urged private accountants and auditors to raise their standards to the level maintained by CPAs. "Education for Professional Accountancy" was Dr. Beights' subject at the 'meeting of the Central Florida chapter, Institute of Certified Public Accountants. On this occasion, he advocated the establishment of a Graduate School of Professional Accountancy for Central Florida. The members of the chapter went on record approving the recommendation, and pledged financial and professional support for such a graduate school. In working out an honors systm, those universities who function under such a program have been consulted — among others, the University of Virginia whose honors system dates back to 1842. Doctors John Hague, Warren Jones, and T. W. Bailey, of,the American studies, psychology, and history departments, are serving with the committee on an advisory basis. If this measure is passed by the student body, an Honors Council of nine members will be instituted next fall. , These people will hear all cases under the honors system agreement; penalties for violation range from expulsion to automatic failure of a class — when cheating has been determined — and the requirement of additional semester hours for graduation. ENTRIES INVITED Annual Art Exhibition Is Scheduled At Stetson The 15th annual exhibition of Volusia County artists will be held Nov. 1-29. Jointly sponsored by Stetson University and the Junior Woman's Club of DeLand, it features works of present and former amateur and professional artists in the county. Announcement of this year's exhibition was made by Fred Messersmith, chairman of the Stetson Art Department.

The gallery is located oh the Quadrangle at Stetson, facing Holler. Fountain and E. Minnesota' Ave. PROUD OF GALLERY "We are very proud of the new gallery, which is a credit to the longstanding interest Stetson has shown in the fine arts," Messersmith said. "What finer way is there for welcoming our Volusia County friends to the gallery, than to present works done by their own neighbors? We expect this to be even larger than our last Volusia County artists exhibition, when we were able to show 121 works by 73 different local artists." All artists, amateur or professional, in the county are invited to submit work for the exhibition, Messersmith said. Oils,, watercolors, sculpture and/or drawings and prints may be entered, with no more than two works to be shown by any one artist. All work must be original (no copies) and suitably framed. I Drawings and prints should be matted, and all work submitted for consideration must have been completed since 1962.

The works,are to be delivered to Sampson Hall on Oct. 24, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., or Oct. 25, between 1 and 5 p.m. "This year," Messersmith said, "we are fortunate in having David Reese as juror for the exhibition. A widely recognized artist, Reese is director of the Loch Haven Art Center, in Orlando. It will be his responsibility to select the show and to award the cash prizes." "On Sunday, Nov. 1, from. 3 to 5 p.m., we will have an opening tea honoring award winners and exhibitors in the gallery, to which all residents of Central Florida are invited. This will officially open the annual exhibition of Volusia County artists, which will continue daily through Nov. 29. We hope everyone will come to view the show and to become acquainted with our beautiful new gallery."
