The Stetson Reporter TENTH YEAR—No. 3 DELAND, FLORIDA, JANUARY 11, 1946 PRICE TEN CENTS DR. HUGH C. STUNTZ ADDRESSES FORUM AUDIENCE ON FUME OF GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY First Forum Lecturer of Series Reviews American Policy With Latin Amricans. By Dot Richardson Dr. Hugh C. Stuntz, first lecturer in this year's forum series, accused America of developing an economic empire at the expense of her smaller neighbors which is more vicious than any colonial empire system could have been in his address, "Future of the Good Neighbor Policy," in Elizabeth Hall Monday, January 7. Dr. Stuntz did not blame any par ticular group for this system but advocated that we establish the same type of relationship with Latin America that we have had with Canada for many years. He suggested that we should develop among these people an economic system of their own by lending them capital and technical advice which will prove a good Jong term invest: ment because of the increasing amount pf- our goods they will be able to buy, He states that the Good Neighbor Policy which he defines as "a policy whereby we will no longer intervene with a good neighbor's policies" is a atep toward working together for a mutual exchange of goods and understanding with all American republics. Stuntz, who has spent 20 years in South America in editorial and educational work, said, "Thc problem of developing democracies in South America has been infinitely difficult. The fact that several of the countries have become democratic is almost miraculous and certainly indicates a change in world affairs." He str.ted that our attitude had always been that of superiority and indifference, an attitude that unless it is changed will lose for us the Latin American trade markets and friendship. Eastwood Terrace Becomes Stetson "Doc" Johnson Becomes Real Estate Agent For Vets. •..This quarter we have^added so many veterans to the enrollment-on campus that we are confronted with a housing problem. Eastwood Terrace Hotel has. been Secured, and it houses fifty veterans. Incidentally the Pi Kappa Phi, Delta Sigma Phi, and Sigma Nu houses are all filled to capacity. The problem is to find houses or apartments for married veterans. "Doc" Johnson has been able to find a place for married veterans, but those with children are running into difficulty because people do not wish to rent their apartments to families with children. "Doc" Johnson and Dr. Allen are doing everything they can to find places as the. veterans return. "Doc" has done an excellent job in making provisions in approved homes for those single veterans who will be returning next quarter. DR. HUGH M'ENIRY RETURNS TO STETSON AS HEAD ENGLISH DEPT.
