About six hundred students and one half of the faculty members have had their pictures made for the Hatter, university yearbook, ac- cording to Margaret Champ, editor of the publication. Strange as it may seem, the women of the faculty seem to be the ones who are shy of facing the cameramen, Miss Champ said. Ten student organizations reserved space for group pictures during the past week, indicating the large section which will be devoted to extra-curricular activities in the publication. Organizations which responded during the past week are: Boys and Girls' Glee Clubs, theta Alpha Phi, Phi Beta, Pi Kappa Sigma, Symphony Orchestra, The Phi Society, The Honor, Women's Student Government, and The Baptist Student Union.

"The Honor", leadership organization at Stetson University expanded its membership last week, when it invited seven DeLand girls to become members, as announced by President W. S. Allen in chapel. The girls are: Lola Hammer, Frances Ogilvie, Bessie Faye Mires, Kathleen Sample, Helen Spaulding, Susanne Penney and Barbara Davis. Formerly the society was restricted entirely to dormitory girls. Honor members are chosen for outstanding leadership, versatility, and scholarship. Martha McConnell, Jacksonville, is president. Dr. Irving C. Stover announced the complete cast of Stetson Players this week for "The Servant in the House", third major play of the year, to be presented December 11 and 12. The actors are: Manson—Carl Weeks; The Vicar —M. J. Bouterse; Auntie — Laura Watson; Mary—Cornelia McRaej; Bishop—J|imes Lumpkin; Robert —Macolm Day; Rogers — James Woodfill. The drama is the most serious and symbolical play of the year, although it is lightly touched with humor. The entire plot deals with Christian Socialism and Brotherhood of Man. Stage properties lend the play an air of historical interest, but in all other respects the atmosphere speaks of solid comfort, refinement and elegance. The characters, seven in number, in contrast to the, 51 in "Cyranode Bergerac", have more concentrated parts. A play similar to "The Servant in the House", was presented, three years ago, called "Passing of the Third Floor Back." The Stetson Players and the School of Music students are .also rehearsing the Christmas plays to be presented December 17. The shouts of busy workmen as they began construction on two new additions for the Commons group greeted Stetson students Monday morning. Only two weeks after the formal dedication of the new group of buildings, additions had to be made due to the large number of students , who are patronizing the school dining room and cafeteria service. Two new additions will be made to the group and will be completed within 90 days. President Allen said that the trustees authorized the new additions in a meeting, held Friday afternoon. One addition will take the form of a spur and extend northward from the northeast corner of the present wing now being used as the cafeteria. It will be 52 feet long and 36 feet wide and will be used for cafeteria service. The northern end will be made attractive by a large open fire place. A storage room extending the entire length of the eastern side of the building, 120 feet long and 15 feet wide, wil! be the second addition. This will be only seven feet from the eastern wall and will be connected with the kitchen by two covered passageways. This group which opened in September is already extended to its full serving capacity. Miss Helen Louise Batson, dietition is serving from 1200 to 1500 meals daily. The new construction will be in the same style as the original group. RAYMOND LEADS IN SLOT VICTORY Stetson Teacher Assists Also In Beating Dog Track PRESIDENT ALLEN GOES TO RICHMOND President W. S. Allen will leave Friday for Richmond, Va., to attend the annual meeting of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, from November 30 to December 5.

Dr., Raymond, president of the Volusia County Anti-Slot Machine Association, avers that the campaign was difficult and tedious, but was . carried forward by the earnest will of the association and the honest support of its followers. About 4,000 letters were written and sent out to voters in the county. The Ministerial Association of the, county was the strongest single organization that participated, using! its influence in its many cohgre-: gations here and in Daytona Beach.; The Kiwanis Club in DeLand and Kiwanis also in their recent: State convention passed a resolution Condemning slot machines.
