The trouble began when Gail Ramsey, then 10,-swimming-at; the time,- was suddenly swept out into the river by the backwash from a STEFANY YAKOTS . honored for heroism VISTA Presents Program Outline University stndents had an opportunity May 2-3 to volunteer for service on Indian reservations, among migrant farm workers, in urban slums, and in rural pockets of poverty ranging from Appalachian hollows to Alaskan villages. Representatives from Volunteers in Service To America (VISTA) were on campus to outline the program and its role in tho war on poverty. "We're looking for volunteers of all backgrounds and abilities," reported Felton Gibson, leader of the VISTA contingent. Gibson described VESTA volunteers as "people who can listen, understand and communicate with others and who are committed enough to live and work for ■a year among the poor In this country." VISTA volunteers serve for one year, receiving living expenses and medical care. In addition to an allowance for food, housing, travel and clothing, they receive $600 at the end of thoir service. He pointed out that over 2,100 VISTA Volunteers are currently in training or on assignment to poverty areas throughout the United States. About 75 per cent of them are between the ages of 18 and 21 passing boat. Larry MitcheM, 13, immediately swam out to try to save the girl and Jerry, her. 12- year-old brother, followed. Both Gail and Jerry grabbed Larry's neck and all three began to sink.. A man seated in a parked car, later Identified'as Griffin, saw the children in trouble and jumped into the river to attempt a rescue, but himself got into the tangle as all three clutched hiimi. ; At tills time, award* of the situation, Stepliany, in a triple trip, towed Jerry, Larry, and Gritten to safety, then swam out to Joyce, who was supporting Gail. The chUd had been floating face downward. Back on shore, Stephany applied artificial respiration to Gail, who was "coughing and;almost unconscious. I pumped a lot of water out of her lungs and by the time the women took the children to the,hospital she was able to walk." ■ ■ ■ The physician who examined the children found no adverse effects from the near^drowning. This rescue incident came to light tlirough an appeal to the DeLand Sun News the following morning when the parents asked aid in learning the identity » the two girls in order to thank them for saving their children. Stephany and Joyce came for-' ward; a story was featured in the local paper about their ex - ploit; and several months ago, a representative,from the Carnegie Commission interviewed them. . Both girls, doubting, anything heroic was involved in the res-' cue, were surprised and more than a little flustered upon receiving notice of the Carnegie decision, They plan to use these cash awards to help finance their further education. 27 Men Receive Leadership Honor On Monday of this week, 27 men gained recognition for their achievements in leadership and service to the campus.

Stover Curtains Rise At 8 Tonight eatre Presents 4Dr. Faustus' Swedish Film 'Winter light9 On Saturday Tomorrow night, 7:30 p.m., In the Stetson Room, Bonnie Moffat's Film Classics Series will present "Winter Light." Written and directed by In- gmar Bergman, this motion picture is the second installment in the trilogy of "Through a Glass Darkly," "Winter Light," and "The Silence." All three are being shown at the University this semester; "The Silence" is scheduled for next Saturday, May 14. RELIGION: 80' Bergman, the son of a Lutheran minister, is drawn to things religious and is also repelled by them. Tomorrow's film (80 minutes in length is representative. The movie begins during a winter morning Communion service in a coastal village of Sweden. The clergyman Tomas Ericsson (Gunnar Bjornstrand): "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." With this, the camera shifts to a series of exterior scenes in snow and cold. This is the condition "on'earth;" this is the climate of the human heart. In the same opening sequence, other symbols that indict are suggested. One of the first views of the congregation is of a figure coughing, and in the course of the story we learn that Tomas and others are sick. There is something in man that is diseased. The service concludes with the- snap of. a lady's purse. Shortly afterward there is another close- up, this time of a few coins being shaken from a collection bag, with the cross in the background. For Tomas the church is a business, and a rather unfortunate. one at that, NO COMMUNION In following sequences, it becomes apparent that the pastor is cut off'from his God, feels lost, no longer in communion with the deity. As a result, Ms ministry is futile. • One of the' fishermen in his congregation (Max von Sy- dow) comes to him troubled about the inevitability of atomic holocaust. Beginning with, a confident homily on faith and trust in God, Tomas weakly drones that we must believe in God though he may seem monstrous, a spider. He ends by saying, "If God does not exist, what does it matter?" i- - To this, the fisherman departs and commits suicide. Tomas goes to console his pregnant widow, but is once more of ho help. Again, he fails the school teacher (In-grid Thulin) who is in love with him. Still mourning 'his dead wife, still concerned .with his own problem of God's silence, Tomas cruelly berates his teacher-mistress for her self- interest and petty demands. HORRIBLE MOMENT That night he goes to conduct evening services in another town. A crippled sexton: "There is too much talk of Christ's physical suffering in the Bible; I've suffered as much - as Christ, in a physical way. Christ's real suffering was on the cross, faced with God's silence in the moment of horrible doubt before he died." Tomas, stirred by this comment but yet unable to love his God, his parishioners, or his mistress, begins the service in an almost-empty Church, with;profound irony: "The earth is filled with the glory of God." Though Sweden's Bergman refuses to explain his cinema, and little can be said thematically about this movie - without considering the'other parts of the, trilogy, the director is a somber, existentiaUy brooding intellectual whose doubts about the meaning of life and the seeming remoteness of God are gothically depicted. "Winter Light" is no exception. Bulletin With a new financial allotment from the University budget, the Reporter will put out one more issue this semester, May 20. Fred York, recently elected editor, is to assume his post at that time. IN DRESS REHEARSAL —Stover will present "Faustus" Fridayand Saturday nights.

There is no change contemplated in the academic standards 'required for continuance at Stetson University. It, is not true that any student who goes down 5 quality points will be asked to leave. -, It is true that the committee expects to be forced to delay readmission for students who formerly might have been expected to come back in September for a second chance. Some of them may be required to wait until January, or even until the following summer. The committee is not happy about this change, but is finding the pressure very great from well qualified students who want to come in and who would not be on any sort of probation. For this reason, we would.urge all . our present students, whom we would much prefer to give priority, to make as certain-as possible that they.not be in academic difficulty in June. , # !|S -'fi S|C The University Bookstore has set May 14 as, the cut-off day for cashing student checks.
