America Play Is Hit to Ea^er Audience Loss of Costumes Causes Late Start; Colorful Wedding Feature The pageant, "Lady America," sponsored by the DeLand High school and directed by Miss Jo Qrendorf, pleased an eager audience in the high school auditorium Wednesday night, in spite of a 45 minute delay because of temporary loss of costume trunks. Miss Louise O'Toole, one of the charming performers, sister of Robert O'Toole, student in the university was named "Lady America" for having sold the largest number of tickets. Many townspeople were in the cast of 125 members, the rest being made up of students. Picturesque costumes, clever dancing and singing made the affair an outstanding success and the audience went away voicing praise for Miss (Continued on -Page -Riree)- ■■■-■• Ralph odum, who jotted down the stetson news for the Stetson page of last year, (keeping the romances before the student body being .his . specialty), .mosied. into the STETSON REPORTER office last Friday. Ralph is now "Covering the Waterfront" for. the Miami Daily Tribune, writing feature stories and keeping the Magic City folk in touch with happenings at Miami Beach. "Interviewing the . Astors and Vanderbilts on their yachts is the job I like," said the former Stetson journalist. "Even the beachcombers afford some news that the public likes to read, however." After definitely deciding not to return to Stetson last fall to pursue his studies hi law, Ralph journeyed to Miami and sold the City Editor on the idea that he was just the man the Miami Daily Tribune needed. (The circulation has increased from 45,000 to 60,000 since he was placed on the staff). Starting in as police reporter, graduating to re-write man, and now becdm- ing a first-rate reporter, he has traveled the road which takes most reporters years to hike along. Although Ralph claimed he would like to return to Alma Mater, and even work on THE STETSON REPORTER, he feels that he should continue to "cover the waterfront" for the Tribune. SPILLMAN IN MONDAY FORUM tc n Scores European Stan -d on World Armaments and War I i FOR''AMERICANISM Capitalism Sacrifices Irf Equality; Communism in Freedom / Dr. Harry c. Spillman, of New York, educator and lecturer, was the speaker in the Forum Monday afternoon. His subject was "This Challenging Age." He opened his lecture by defining some common terms. Plutocracy was defined as the power, of wealth; Democracy was defined as the power of the people. Only once, according to Dr. Spillman, in "the history of America has Democracy ever made a violent challenge against plutocracy. "The various political movements in Europe have no direct bearing on the welfare of the U. S. They are only of academic interest. "Of all of these European experiments:," opinioned Dr. Spillman, "I should say the one in Italy is the most interesting. When I was there, I found the people wholeheartedly behind Mussolini. The people in Europe seem to have great desire for the' development of poisonous gases, more armaments, while America seems to be inclined towards less armaments and no war." The audienced showed their definite approval of this statement by applauding - loudly. "Our problems are peculiar to those of other nations. We have the American point of view. "I. favor capitalism because it's evils are not as great as its disadvantages, and for no other reason. "It has been said that people accumulate money so that they can quit thinking. about it. Which brings us to the question of whether a man can really honorably earn $1,000,000. Unquestionably many men have earned $1,000,000. Daniel Boone blazed a trail, Thomas Jefferson who wrote the .Declaration of Independence. These men didn't get $1,000,000 but they earned it. They were so busy earning it, they didn't collect it. Many modern people are so' busy collecting that they can't earn it. "The Capitalistic system sacrifices equality for freedom; Communism sacrifices freedom for equality. All wealth is useful. The degree of use depends upon the efficiency of the management. "In spite of her youth and on account of her freedom, America took her place as one of the richest and most powerful nations of the world. I think the "ism" we want in America today is Americanism.
