Stets RTER Second Year—No. 18 DELAND, FLA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1937 Price 5g Hatte Union College of Kentucky Comes for Next Hatter Cage Battle: Visitors Have Great Scoring Reco"d ^J m Mosey and Clothing Sent From University to Tom Kirkland, who is leading the Stetson basketball team in scoring for games'to date this season. By JAC K G03E Victorious in six out of nine starta over the first semester course, Stetson's cage team looked towards the second semester this week for further triumphs, and a season reco.d comoa.'abl: to past great Stetson quinte.s. Already the Hatters have shown tl ey have the makings or a top notch five and with a little more experience they should be able to hold their own against any of the small college teams in the south. Their hardest test of the second —— semester will probably be met this weekend when Union College of Kentucky comes to town for a two game series. Union has one of the best teams in its history and already has racked up twin victories over Mississippi. As the Ole Miss quintet was ranked as one of the favorites to cop the Southeastern title, it looks like a real battle in store for this weekend. The Hatters will have to show a much better effort than they turned in against Cohens in their last out, if they expect to continue their intercollegiate winning streak, now standing at four straight. Five Road Games Following the games with Union the Hatters depart February 9 for a week's tour of South Carolina and Georgia in which they play five games on five successive nights. They meet Newberry, Erskine, Wofford, Presbyterian, and South Georgia State Teachers, before hitting the road back to encounter Millsaps College here February 16 and 17. The following night they pay a return visit to Gainesville to meet Florida's Gators, who will be anxious to avenge their last second defeat here- February 22 Tampa comes to town for one game and two days later the Hatters repay the visit to meet the Spartans in their backyard. The season comes to a close with Stetson engaging the Big Store five of Jacksonville in a return game, there, February 26.

The Minnesota avenue signal is the most northern of seven installed by DeLand authoiities in an effort to discourage excesive speed over the main thoroughfare of the city. As a result, crossing of the street near Elizabeth Hall has been made much less of a physical peril. The Boulevard remains congested, however, by the parking of vehicles on both sides of Elizabeth Hall. By LaVerne Gifford Forty-one dollars in cash and a generous load of clothing were sent from Stelson University to the flood stricken area in the 0*>io river valley this week, Prof. Harry S.

Several students whose homes are in the flooded area have received eye-witness information of the scenes in the river valley. Dead in River "They can't get enough coffins here for the dead," one letter received by Mary Conley from Bowling Green, Ky. relate.!. "The refugees say you can see the dead ones floating down the .river all the time. "There are 1000 refugees in the city, and gymnasiums, churches, theatres, and every available building is being used to house them. We have several children, who can't find their families." Maej Elizabeth Wells whose home is in Mount Olivet, Ky., 22 miles from the Ohio river received this description: "Many of the beautiful homes went this morning.

RAYMOND BEGINS WASHINGTON TASK Prize Contest Tomorrow Night; Stetson-Rollins Affair Saturday ' By KATHRYN MILEY Stetson students, i many children, and Popeye like spinach. They eat it regularly, too. A survey of 18,000 children in summer camps in New York reveals that spinach was the second ranking vegetable in demand. MIsq Louise Batson, Stetson dietit- ion, says that all leafy vegetables including spinach, mustard, and turnip greens are liked by local students. Potatoes won a decided victory with the young campers in ihe northern state. ■ Stetsonites also choso potatoes as the most popular vegetable, but peas are pushing potaioes for the top notch position. String beans and carrots are also,' popular with local students, but do not have as large a number of fans as the previously mentioned foods. Both of these were popular with the children in the New York camps. A striking difference presented itself in regard to the choice of beets. Stetson students eat very few beets. The campers noted them as one of their favorites. "Students here like artichokes very much, and this is rather unusual, as this is the first place that they have ever sold very much, when I served them," Miss Batson said. Campers did not even list artichokes. Milk and f-uit juices are the most popular beverages with Stet- son'tes. Six Stetson debaters will compete for the DeLand Athenian club's $25 prize tomorrow night at 7 o'clock in the auditorium, Prof. Robert C. 'Cotner, director of debate, announced yesterday. In the contest, all presenting arguments on "Resolved: That Congress Should Be Empowered to Fix Minimum Wages and Maximum Hours," will be Harmon Harper, Ralph Odum, Alton Greenlaw, David Molthrop, Wilton Rowe, and Henry Todaro. Several other engagements loom before the debaters. Saturday Rollins College1 and Stetson debate classes, and other students interested in debating, will have a ""round" of argument here. February 12 a Stetson team will speak before the Demosthenes club of' Orlando• high school,'and that evening will debate with Southern College, Lakeland.

"Parole, probation and commutation of sentence have been very much abused," Dr. Raymond explained ' before his departure for Washington.

Miss Batson explained: "Students are asked to use their own judgement as to which cafeteria to eat in, so as to avoid over-crowding either side and to shorten the time to wait to be served. "I am asking that you be on time and not come in after serving hours because, starting the second semester, rto meals will be served after 8 if clock in the mornings;. 1:15 at noon; and 6;30 in the evenings.
