A nationally recognized Baptist lay man, and- chairman of the board of GENESCO — world's largest manufacturer-distributor of footwear and apparel, he was recipient of an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws from Stetson at the June, 1957, commencement exercises, and has shown a continuing interest in the spiritual and academic aspects of the Stetson community life. "Maxey Jarman is a dedicated Christian business leader, who has shown in his own corporation that business ethics and practices based on Christian principles are extremely important in today's world," Dr. Edmunds said in making the presentation. "He has demonstrated by his methods of doing business and his daily interest in his fellowman, that God is as necessary to business as 'He is to any other area of life. He has erased the artificial distinction between the sacred and the secular, and made right the guiding light in his own organization.' VISITS STETSON "Mr Jarman and members of his family have visited Stetson on several occasions, and as the trustee representative of the Jarman Foundation, he has quietly, offered — as is his manner — these beautiful • Bibles to Stetson's newest students. His only desire in so doing is expressed in one sincere remark, 'with the hope the students will read them.! With this same hope, I am pleased that this may be done on Thanksgiving Eve, whra .each of us is again reminded of our God from whom all blessings flow." In responding to the presentation, Freshman President Abel said, "I thank Mr. Jarman and the Jarman Foundation on behalf of my classmates, and all Stetson students. This is a very thoughtful and generous indication of his interest in our younger generation."' Immediately following the Chapel service, - at which Dr. Rollin Armour, Religion Department faculty member brought the Thanksgiving message, all members received their personal copies of the Bibles in their residence halls. REACTIVATED Members of the 1964 Freshman Orientation Week Committee — a group of outstanding Juniors who were responsible for orienting and assisting Freshmen' as they arrived on the campus'in September — reactivated themselves and handled the distribution of the Bibles.

The Stetson Union Board, on behalf of the entire pizza loving campus, would like to take this opportunity to thank and commend "Joe" for his generous offer and cc-operative spirit. If all', the other fine merchants in DeLand were as co-operative as "Joe", perhaps there would be no need for the SG Business Relations Committee.

Applications Open For Residences On Hatter Hill By GLORIA HUNTER On this past Wednesday, following Chapel, the answer to the white picket fence next to Hulley Gym was given. Stetson now has its own version of the West's legendary Boot Hill — Hatter Hill. Within this burial grounds will be found tombstones for the victims of "Hattermonia", a fatal disease contracted by most basketball teams when they meet the Hatter cage stars in action. Rollins, on Tuesday night, was the first victim to fall to the latest outbreak of "Hattermonia'' Wednesday night Presbyterian College fell to the same disease. WEEKLY FUNERALS In collaboration with Coach Wilkes, the "L" Club built the graveyard area and is in charge of the funeral services which will be held for the victims of "Hattermonia." The services will be held on the Monday, Wednesday, or Friday after Assembly' or Chapel when there is a winning game. The procession will begin each time from in front of the SUB and will prceed slowly to Hatter Hill where the tombstones will be put into place and a short service held for the victim. . Members of the Hatter basketball team, Cheerleading squad, and "L" Club participated in funerals, along with a number of other students. • Chris Rawls' was the officiating minister and Carolyn Whitten burg,was the "weeping widow," Debate Squad Takes First Stetson University debaters placed first in group action tournament at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Nov. 14. Six , S t e t s o n students, accompanied by "Miss Betty Mack, Director of Forensics at Stetson, represented the University in the debate. The students were two sophomores: Jay Mechling of Miami Beach, and .Betty Walker of Miramar; and four freshman: Jackie Manning of West Palm Beach; Larry Thomas of West Palm Beach; James Roth of Miami Beach; and Darlene Walker of Boca Raton. It was a first and second year debate!. The subject .was:* "What Should The Federal Government Do To Alleviate Hard Core Unemployment?" The. University of South Florida placed second In the competition and Gulf Coast Junior College was third. The Stetson Debaters are at a Novice Tournament at the University of South Florida, Tampa, Dec. i and 5. who bravely placed lilies on the grave. REVIVED CUSTOM Having Hatter Hill is a revival of a custom that has been seen on this campus before. It is hoped that there will be many Hatter victories recorded within the confines of the picket fence. As the services are held throughout the basketball season, it is hoped that a large number of the student body will participate in the memorial services. There has been a good representation of Stetsonites at the Hatters first two games, and the number of faculty members present is increasing. The transition from soccer to basketball seems to have been made with great success. Let's keep up the good support that the team is getting, and support them through a winning season!

Baptist Youth Conference Has International Accent During the past Thanksgiving holidays the annual state-wide BSU sponsored International Student Conference was held at the Christian Camp Grounds in Silver Springs, Fla. The purpose of the conference was to provide an opportunity for international students to establish friendships, exchange ideas and examine the Christian faith. This conference was attended by students representing 28 foreign countries all over the world and who are studying at University of Miami, University of South Florida, Florida State University, University of Florida and Stetson University. Representing Stetson University were Mr. and Mrs. Jack Mabry, John Hart, Dimitri Moschandreas, Tai chi Sigimoto and Ramon Vega. The conference began on Thursday, Nov. 26, when the students arrived to the camp arid registered for the conference; later in the evening the students enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving banquet. The program prepared for the conference included' addresses by distinguished speakers and followed by discussions on such topics as "Cries for Freedom" and Critique on Communism." The speak ers and at the same time leaders of the discussion groups were Dr. Henleet H. Barnette, professor of Christian Ethics at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky. and Dr. R. R. Oglesby, dean of stu dents and professor of government and international relations at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Fla. The conference was coordinated by Mr. Joe H. Webb, Director of studnet work for the Florida Baptist Convention. MANY FEATURES Among the many features of the program were songs from different countries,a talent show featuring international "stars" and many other various activities which included time for informal conversation and exchange'of ideas. The friendly exchange of ideas was facilitated by the frame of fellowship in which the conference was conducted. The international students were able to benefit by the .contributions of the other students from different countries in political, religious and cultural ideas and their different views on common problems. , But not all of the time was dedicated to serious discussions, part of the time was dedicated for fellowship, tours and recreation in Silver Springs. The conference ended on' Saturday afternoon with a lunch in which the students said farewell to their new friends. The concensus of the opinion of the students was that this-conference provided them with an opportunity to exchange ideas and to profit this exchange in a pleasant way and.most of the students expressed their-wishes to attend next year's conference.

Dr. Schultz Writes Article On Canadian Party Leader Dr. Harold Schultz, Associate Professor of History at Stetson University, is the author of a lead article in the.current Canadian Historical Review, which attempts to intercept and evaluate the public career of William Aberhart, Premier of Alberta from 1935 to 1943, and founder of a new political party- in Canada called Social Credit. The article was written at the request of the editors of the Review, which is the official publication of the Canadian Historical Association. It is a follow-up to an article Dr. Schultz had written, which appeared in The Review in 1960. It was 'William'. Aberhart .who formed the'Social Credit League, popularized the. Social Credit theories," hand-picked the candidates and led the party to power. He began-his career-as a school teacher in Ontario, became principal of Calgary's largest high school, founded and directed the Calgary Prophetic Bible Institute and • won a vast radio following as a preacher.of fundamentalism and Bible pro-' phecy. GOD'S DESIGN Hedging between the ministry and teaching most of his life, Aberhart entered politics" 'only when he was convinced that this was God's design. When committed to this purpose, he entered public life with zest, and put a religious imprint' on politics as surely as his personal life expressed a religious conviction. The Premiership was- merely the political extension of '•his religious conviction, according to the article by Dr. Schultz. The history of the Social Credit Party under Aberhart does not reveal any benefits that the same man and the same organiztion could not have provided under another label. Aberhart soon realized this but dared not admit it. - However, the story of Aberhai-t does reveal how one able, man with a band of loyal followers, superbly organized, can exploit, the circumstances of his day to win a premiership and a province. CANADIAN BORN A native of Canada; Dr. Schultz received his BA in 1953 at Goshen College, Indiana; MA in 1954 at University of' Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich.,- and' his Ph.D. ■ from -. Duke - University, Durham, N.C, in 1959, He joined the-Stetson History Department in 1959 and currently teaches history and political science. He is a member of the First Baptist Church, Mid-Florida College Committee, Associate Director of South East Asia Institute and the author of several articles in the fields of religion and political history. He is presently working on a textbook on the. "History of England," to be published by Barnes and Nobel. Dr. Schultz is the son of Rev. and Mrs. A. J. Schultz, 151 Bell? view Ave., and was graduated from Kitchener's public and high schools. .
