Russell Hamilton IH, Peter Hutnick, Ronald Wayne Johnson, Robert M. • Kimble, John Frats Throw Citrus For Snakes Party In a combined effort the four fraternities on Fraternity Row threw a citrus and Christmas Carol parry for the Sigma Nus Wednesday night and are now on unrestricted probation until further notice. Members of Pi Kappa Phi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Lambda Chi Alpha and Sigma Phi Epsilon got together a little after midnight Wednesday and decided the brother fraternity on Minnesota might welcome a little good cheer. So, marching in unison with a cry that sounded like "great, great, great . . ." they marched over to the Sigma Nu house. The brothers of Sigma Nu, surprised to know that somebody was thinking about them, dashed out in the front- yard and extended greetings to the revelers. In a hearty spirit of good will, the Fraternity Row Greeks lifted their voices to the skies in singing several Chrismas carols. Among others, "Jingle Bells" and "Silent Night" were sung. Then, gifts were exchanged between the two groups. The Snakes received a bevy of oranges and not to be outdone, returned the gift. DeLand police, arriving on the scene to listen to the carols escorted the Greeks back to fraternity Row because it was very dark and scary out that night. The next "morning it was decided that the four fraternities on the row should be- placed on unrestricted probation for a little while. Leland, Raymond A. McKen- ney, Richard T. Mayer Jr.-; J.

John Grenier, executive director of the Republican-National Committee, has resigned to return to his Alabama • law practice. A key supporter of Barry Goldwater, Grenier had come under much political at-- tack for his part- in the presidential elections. In a final statement, he charged that seven million Republicans defected from the national ticket and that Nelson Rockefeller, assisted by Scran ton and Romney, was "the number one factor in the defeat of Senator Goldwater." Returning' from a trip to Buenos Aires and Santiago, a Negro woman was accused Monday of "a major international conspiracy." With a criminal record of convictions for grand larceny, shoplifting, and prostitution, she is alledgedly the courier of narcotics smugled into the United States from South America.

The hot line, a, telephone setup between Washington and Moscow with the purpose of deterring accidental nuclear war, has never been used in its official capacity. Maintenance crews on botli sides, to check that the system is functioning properly, have been transmitting cultural data—Soviet operators relay ex-, tracts from Russian literature and the American technicians send over the latest baseball results. Mario Savio, a 21-year-old junior majoring in philosophy at the' University of California, has led a number of student riots and sit-ins on campus, has been arrested several times in these protest demonstrations, and has caused a halt in the academic schedule since last week. The dispute, which began in October, centers on the question of soliciting funds at Berkeley for civil rights work in the South.

Twenty-five million dollars will be required in the next decade to meet Stetson University's existing and expanding needs, Dr. J. Ollie Edmunds has announced. In a special issue of the "Stetson Letter," Edmunds issued a graded year progress report citing the year 1963-64 as "one of the most rewarding in Stetson's history." He noted that gifts totaled $2,456,333 during the 1963-64 year exceeded the combined assets of the university 15 years ago. Edmunds expressed hope that within a' few months ground would' be broken for the new school of business administration building which is financed by a , Florida Foundation "which wishes to remain anonymous." He added that plans for a Science Center and Fine Arts Center are on the drawing board. SCIENCE CENTER The university's first project "the Science Center," requires raising $3 million to obtain the Ford Foundation grant. Of the $2,456,000 received between June, 1963 and May 31, 1964, $1,258,261 qualifies toward the $3 million needed to claim the $1.5 million Ford Foundation grant, he said. Both projects which are on the drawing board will fulfill, Edmunds said, the immediate needs of the University, but an additional $25 million will be necessary for other needs in the next decade. This year Stetson assisted 515 needy students with grants-in-aid and loans totaling $434,825. In 1958, it was less than $200,000 with the biggest jump comiiig in 1961 when almost $300,000 in aid was given. ENROLLMENT GROWTH . In 1958 Stetson's enrollment, as shown on a chart, was about 1,635 students. In 1959 it decreased to 1,550, but the next year jumped to about 1,670. In 1961 and 1962 enrollment was approximately 1,760 students with 1963 bringing an increase to about 1,825. This year it approximates 1,880. Gifts, grants and bequests to Stetson since 1953 have fluctuated with 1954 the low year with $509,000. In 1956 gifts brought $1,173,000 but the next year they dropped to $519,000. The 1960-61 year brought $1,391,000 but the next two years showed a steady decline to $828,000. But the 1963- 64 year brought Stetson a shower of donations totaling • $2,456,000. Stetson's assets, the report shows, have grown steadily in the last decade. They approximated $2;5 million in 1954 and steadily climbed until this year Ewart Estate Grants $5,000 To University Stetson University is the recipient of a $5,000 bequest from the estate of the late Mrs. Jesse Humpstone Ewart, President J. Ollie Edmunds announced today. A similar amount was left to the Memorial Gifts Fund, administered by the Memorial Gifts Committee of the First Baptist Church of DeLand. Mrs. Ewart died Nov. 11, 1964.

He died in DeLand in 1939. In June 1940, Mrs. Taft was married to Dr. Frank C. Ewart, of Hamilton, N.Y., a longtime friend of the Taft family and retired Colgate University professor.

She was a personal friend of President Edmunds and the late Mrs. Edmunds.
