Carleton, nationally recognized specialist on political parties and professor emeritus of political science at the University of Florida told, an au- ' dience of about 150 Stetson students and professors last night. He predicted that President Johnson will receive 65, 66, 67 or even 68 percent of the popular vote in the coming election, adding that the election might even be said to be going "by default." Carleton, who has predicted the outcome of the last three presidential elections and who Khrushchev Out, New Leaders In Soviet' Premier Nikita Khrushchev has resigned from the leadership of the Communist Party in Russia, the Associated Press .reported yesterday from !Moscow. '.-.., Khrushchev will reportedly be replaced by Leonid I. Brezhnev, who has taken over as first secretary of the Communist Party, the big power job in Russia Alexei Rosygin, has taken over the office of premier. | Khrushchev had filled • jboth these jobs.. ■ ■ • ,,./'. Khrushchev's ouster was4 reportedly 'decided upon at meetings of the party's Central Committee which began Monday. .Information on when the decision was made and. when the meetings ended was not available late yesterday.

"We're doing everything we can to improve on. this excellence and make this year's book more representative of the entire field of fine arts.' The literary magazine, to be published' early in the spring, is looking for what its editor •termed "creativity in any field of the'fine arts." ',' ' The character of the magazine has changed since the original issues and now contains not only literary contributions, but original sketches, ink drawings, block prints, photography, ' musical compositions and other art forms as well. The REVIEW staff would like to- encourage anyone interested in any of these to :be thinking . of some contributions he can ' make to this'year's book. We are also looking for members- of every class to work on an-advisory board with Dr. William E. Taylor, the club's sponsor, and other members of the staff. The board should provide a continuity factor, to represent the tastes and interests of the entire Stetson Communiy." , . "While I'm • the Editor, I'm really only an overseer. A board of students makes a lot of the content decisions," said Dave. Dave is quick to point to Dr. Taylor as a great asset to the group.. He is also the editor of a .monthly poetry page in the Florida Education Association Journal and sponsor of the Stetson chapter of the English honorary, Sigma Tau Delta. "A poet in his own right," adds Dave. Anyone interested in contributing material, working' on the advisory board, or anyone with questions concerning the literary magazine may contact Dave MacFarland, Box 885.

NOTICE > Students planning to .intern next spring must have their completed applications, in the Education Office not later than November 1.' By TOM HENDRY For the first time in 40 years both England and the United States are electing their chief executives at- the same time. Monday' night Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home led 30 members of his Cabinet on a country-wide search in attempts to gain a slim majority of Britain's 36 million voters. Sir Alec, nominee for the Conservative Party, faces strong opposition from Harold - Wilson's Labor Party and is not expected to win. In Essex, Home told his audience: "Don't support the Liberals. There are only two alternatives—a Conservative or a Socialist government." * * , * On . the American political scene, the Miami Herald, generally a Republican newspaper, joined the New York Herald Tribune, also Republican, in support of Lyndon Johnson. The Miami publication said theirs had been "not, however, an entirely happy choice." They labelled the campaign as a "dull, dissapating affair," and said of Goldwater, "The GOP nominee is running as a racist in the South and not very well anywhere else. And yet he is not a racist." *. * # Russia, on Monday, launched successfully into Orbit the first three-man space capsule Vosk- hod (Sunrise). Up for slightly more than 24 hours, the Soviet cosmonaut, doctor, and scientist wore civilian clothes, instead of the bulkier space suits, and carried with them a portrait of Lenin, founder; of the Communist state. Lenin's photo was especially appropriate, according to Tass, because he had supported the idea of space flights as early as 1921. * * * Also from Tass came the news that Soviet scientists have discovered an 800-mile-Iong mountain range under the Antarctic icecap. Said mountain reaches the height of 7,000 feet and lies buried under ice nearly two miles thick. * * * Amidst political campaigning, Ecumenical controversy, and space competition this week, three British police officers were injured in the line of duty. Hearing reports of the burglary of a local television shop, the three bobbies investigated, found their lead, and-spent the night'chasing the elusive bandits through 20 miles of England'^ countryside. This pursuit wsts no easy matter; the thieves ^scaped by hurling television sets, bottles, and their spare tire into he path ©J the oncoming detectives. has just completed a tour of the 11 southern states, went on to say, "I don't know of $ny election in American history where there has been less contest." '■■'.'■ In his hour long speech, Carleton stressed the effect of Gold- water's nomination on.the South, discussed, the factors that.make this" campaign, one of the most unusual in, American history and predicted ; the , outcome in 11 ■Southern states. 1 r"I don't know anything analogous' to this- campaign 'in American history," he told the Stetson audience. He described Sen. Goldwaters campaign as "unusual" throughout. - • : First, he said the campaign was unusual , because usually candidates try to appeal to all the people in the country. Ever since his campaign began, he said, it appeared that Goldwater, "didn't care if he got the vote of some groups." Throughout the country in his speeches, he has been alienat ing group after group. : Giving two-examples, he said, the Republican candidate denounced the TVA while speaking in Nashville, Tenn., and denounced the Appalachian Poverty Program in the Tennessee i mountain district. Second, Goldwater's campaign is unusual in the fact that he refuses to accept institutions which have been part of the American way of life for years. The Republican candidate's views on foreign policy are also unusual, he explained. "He is taking a position which is certainly a minority view all over the world. "This campaign is also unusual because of. the enormous interest abroad." Foreign interest in the forthcoming election is immense, he said, but the American people know little of what the opinion is abroad^ • He went on to say that the world is no longer teetering on a two-power balance and described the present global situation as a "new pluralism." The most important development in recent world history, he feels, is the ever widening split between Rd China and Russia and the consequent casing of tension between Russia and the U.S. . ' ■ "The communist world has turned out to be polynational ... poly central."' Explaining how foreigners view th<* possibility of a Goldwater victory, he said "At the worse, they feel it might force Red China and Russia back to gether." Another way he feels that the campaign this year is unusual is in the fact that the average American knows very little, if anything, about the issues of the campaign. "The issues'.are being less congently analyzed than in any election I have ever seen — possibly than in any election in American history." "We seem to be moving to a national' politics where we exploit a mood." 'Another factor that makes this campaign unusual, is the fact the mood "Is not pro- Johnson, The people are voting against Goldwater." • He said this election will be a tragic one for the Republicans. He said he believes, "If Mr. Nixon had been nominated, this would be one of the closest elections in history." , He devoted the rest of his speech to the factors that will control the vote in the South. . "The real fight this year is, of course, in our own South. The hot fight is here." He believes, "The mood of the South has undergone four significant phases since this time last year," . '. At this time last year, it was felt that President Kennedy- would have a hard time trying' to carry the South in the next election,., although Southern politicians, even Republicans, had admitted in private that he might, carry several states. When President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, he said the South rallied behind Presi- dent Johnson, feeling that they had one of their own in Washington. • Next, after, the passage of the civil rights bill,.: the South felt that Johnson had betrayed them and if the election had been held at that time, Carleton feels that v the only , state Johnson even had a possibility of carry- ing would have been Texas, his home state.

JOHN HAMPTON, distinguished military graduate, is shown with his wife at the June commissioning ceremonies at Stetson during which each graduating ROTC cadet received the gold bars of a second lieutenant in the United States Army. ROTC Grad Is Top Man At Benning Lt. John J. Hampton, a June graduate of Stetson, has just received commendation for his performance at the Infantry Officer Basic Course at Ft. Benning, Ga. where he placed first in a class of 193 officers, all of whom were either distinguished military graduates ROTC of many institutions or graduates of West Point. The report from the Infantry school said that Hampton, "demonstrated a superior ..ability to organize, control and supervise his tactical assignments. He is highly reliable and has demonstrated exceptional initiative." Maj. Hewlett E. Rainer, PMS of Stetson's ROTC corps, said, "We are especially proud of Jack Hampton because this is the first time a graduate of the Stetson program has finished number one in his basic military school. The competition is keen and it takes an outstanding individual to come out on top." IN ROTC While at Stetson, Hampton was active in the ROTC program both as a member of Scabbard and Blade and in serving as S-3 operations officer on the brigade staff. He was an exceptional student outside of the military as well, making the honor roll many times during his four years at Stetson and graduating Cum Laude. He was also a regular contributor to The Stetson Reported in which, he wrote the satirical column "Here I Sit."

ALPHA CHI OMEGA Linda Woofter, chairman of Green Feather publicity com- (Coattnuaa *a rag* Two) What, you may wonder, is happening at Stetson next year? Do we really have to go to school long, er? Why are we changing from the regular semester plan? And, what, pray tell, is a minimester? Reporter staff writer, Vic Reasoner, has spent several weeks talking to people connected with the new system and here presents to the student body what he lias learned./ By VIC REASONER The planning of the new semester system, to be initiated at Stetson in the fall of 1965, is presently complete in its overall form, although some of the smaller details still have to be worked out. The new system will consist of two 15 week semesters, one in the fall and one in the spring, and a five week minimester in the middle of the winter. The summer program will still be run> on its present basis. A maximum of 16 hours, with a minimum of 11, may be taken during the spring and fall semesters under the new system. • MINIMESTER. ' Six hours will be taken during the minimester. The main goals of the new system, according to Dr. William E. Taylor, chairman of the General Education Committee, are: —To create a more even balance between required courses and specialization courses. —To include in the curriculum an incentive for independent study. - —To provide more time for faculty members to conduct research, if they so desire, in their fields of interest. A higher degree of flexibility than is possible under the present system will be inherent in the new system, planners report. ...,,.-;..,.WHAT.IS.JX?...'., ........'■ The most radical change that will occur next fall will be the initiation of the minimester. This period, will be deyoted entirely to general education courses for freshmen, sophomores and most juniors. These courses will not be the same, in structure or in content,;, as the present • general education courses. Instead, according to Dr. Taylor, "They will be an attempt to provide an understanding of how man encounters and knows the physical world, the social world, and the spiritual world." Dr. Taylor said that further description of the general education courses would be purely speculative since the actual content of each general education course has not been decided yet. ■ During the minimester some juniors and most seniors will be doing work in their majors, usually in the form of departmental research or seminars. Departmental courses offered during the semesters will remain virtually the same. Course requirements,, however, will differ-somewhat. The calendar year will also differ in some respects. The first semester will start in early September, a bit earlier than it does under the present system, and will end immediately before the Christmas vacation. The minimester will begin Immediately after the Christmas vacation. A recess of two to four days at the end of the minimester is probable. The second semester will then begin and will end somewhat later than under the present system. 3 KINDS OF COURSES There will be three kinds of courses under the hew system: —Basic skills courses, mathematics, languages and English which will replace their equivalent in G-courses. —The new general education courses. . —Departmental courses. Some of the present G (general education) courses will be replaced by the new skills courses and others will be dropped from the curriculum. The new skills courses will be mandatory for freshmen, unless exempted. Required also , for freshmen will be an outside reading program in Western Civilization. This will be accrediated. . There will be a requirement of an elective,in each of these fields: humanities, social science and natural science. OUTSIDE READING An outside reading program in each of- these fields will be mandatory and will be.good for two hours credit each. Credit .verification tests for the reading program will be given sometime during the first semester of the following year. Generally, all this will be com pleted in the sophomore year. Accelerated freshmen who have exempted their skills courses, however, will also be taking electives in these fields and the corresponding reading assignments. During the semesters, juniors and seniors will concentrate on their majors. TYPICAL CURRICULUM A typical curriculum of an average four-year student will probably be something like this: FRESHMAN YEAR —Skills courses. —An outside reading, program in Western Civilization. —A probable elective during the semesters, with a total of about 14 hours per semester. —General Education I and II. SOPHOMORE YEAR —Electives in the field of hu manities, social sciences an natural science with associate outside reading |15-16 hours pe semester) during the spring an' fall semesters. —A minimester of Genera Education III and IV. JUNIOR YEAR —Electives in the major o the, student. (12-15 hours pel semester) during .the semesters —A minimester of Genera Education V and VI. SENIOR YEAR —Complete concentration or the student's major. The curriculum of a typical accelerated student would be similar in structure, but would start out with electives in the required fields and associated reading in the freshman year, thus enabling the student to. begin specialization earlier. International Club Will Hear Edmunds Speak President J. Ollie Edmunds will be the guest speaker on Monday evening, October 19, at a special program sponsored by the Stetson International Club.
