Consistently Miss Dorothy Alexander of Forsyth, Georgia, arrived this week to join our faculty as assistant librarian- She received an A. B. degree from Wesleyan College, Macon, Ga., after majoring in English. Her A. B. degree in Librarian Science was earned at Emory University. Miss Alexander is well qualified for her position, having taught English at Big Stone Gap, Va., and Forsyth, Ga., before accepting the -postion as librarian at A. and M. College of Carrollton, Ga. When asked what she thought about DeLand and the University, she replied that she was struck by the friendliness of the -people and the beauty of the oak treef." The new assistant come? from Daytona Beach where she has. been residing for the past year, to kssist Dr. Steig and Mrs. William Ifetzer in the Stetson library. \ The home is the well-spring of security, Prof. Paul Raymond of Stetson college of law declared yesterday in addressing the Wisconsin Avenue Parent-Teacher association. He emphasized the close relationship between education, good government, security and the home. Pointing out that security is the goal of persons in all classes, Dr. Raymond showed that two groups of extremists have taken the field in the United States- Of them he said: "On. the one hand we have a group who constantly are urging us 'back to the constitution' and 'back to fundamentals'. They go back to the writings of John Marshall and Thomas Jefferson and Joseph Story and seek diligently for sign-posts for a twentieth century economic wilderness. They forget that at that time each community, yes, even each home, was economically self-sufficient. "Besides this group we have at the other end of the political spectrum another group of extremists who seem to think that wealth, or purchasing power, can be pulled out of the hat, so to speak, by starting the money printing press <ind compelling each person to spend a certain sum each month. Such a nlan is inviting because it promises something for nothing and does not tire one from mental exertion. The only thing wrong with it is that it seems to place the cart before the horse. Purchasing power has always been a product of land, labor, and capital combined in intelligent enterprise." "I was very agreeably impressed with the chapel exercises," Mr. G. Medwin Peek, former Stetson student and recent visitor to the University, told a representative of THE REPORTER in a; recent interview. "In my day we displayed no such spirit in the singing as I heard. In fact," he added with a laugh, "our amusement consisted mainly of playing tit-tat-toe-" Mr. Peek is remembered to former Stetsonites as the founder of the "College Chatter" column in the DeLand Sun News. . After leaving Stetson, he forsook his newspaper career to study architecture at Harvard where he was graduated in 1924. His next appointment was with the Metropolitan Museum in New York through which he was sent to Egypt on an expedition to investigate excavations near King. Tut's tomb. Upon his return to the United States, and DeLand he opened an office during the Florida Boom. Since that time Mr. Peek has been connected with John Russell Pope, architect in New York, and has made another trip to Egypt. At present he plans to spend the winter in DeLand.

The work of the backs has mainly been devoted to perfecting means to stop the Seceeders' best weapon, the forward pass. The Stetson boys have buckled to their task in fine style so that the new coaches, Cowell and Freeman, may make a good showing in their first appearance before DeLand fans. Coach Jake Todd and his Erskine griddcrs got here yesterday and are making their headquarters at the Putnam hotel- The mentor, who has guided Erskine teams for eleven years, expects his men to take the Hatters into camp. He bases this belief on the continued improvement and fine spirit of his gridders. In the persons of Wier,White- sides, Ford and Mann, the South Carolina club have four stars who are already being mentioned for all S. I. A. A. team. They realize that tonight's encounter means much to their individual hopes and will be "shooting the works" for local fans. Against these stars Coach Cowell will throw Captain Tom Gannarelli and his mates Wotring, Louton and "Spec" Martin in the backfield and those star guards, Hainsworth and Gordon. "Spec" by his hard work in practice has earned a starting place in the slot of Aubrey Smith, who was injured only slightly in the last game. Gordon McCalla played a bang-up game at center and will probably start. But Back to Miami Stetson, after playing, its worst football of the season in the first half, came smashing back after the intermission to ram over two touchdowns and an extra point for a narrow victory.
