SONG CONTEST ENDS SATURDAY , Professor Bailey's song co'ntest, which closes on the dramatic stroke of twelve Saturday night, has produced an amazingly large crop of lyrics. 'Faculty members, Liberal Arts and Music School students, to say nothing of several alumni, have turned composer in the interest of Stetson pep meetings. '..,'< Because of the enthusiasm shown by them, contestants have not been limited to one contribution. A number of the song writers, such*' as Dick Feasel and Ruth Newlin, have written two ditties apiece. Paul Depper and Harry Hall of the Liberal Arts College have each turned in tunes designed to hold all scrimmage lines in the future. Other Stetson song writers are Professor Howard Bateson and Mrs. Harold. Giffen. The five songs selected from the entries by the contest committee RECITAL OPENS CONCERT SERIES Student's Composition Featured In First Concert- Stetson music students entertained ah appreciative audience last night with a vocal and instrumental recital in Elizabeth Hall. This performance is the first of a Tuesday evening series by , the School of Music. Ruth Newlin's melodic composition entitled "Come Thou to Me" was featured by Barbara Peden, vocal student. Miss Peden also presented "Dost Thou Know That Fair Land" (Thomas). Harriet Alexander played "Nov- ellett Op. 21 No. 7" (Schumann) and "After A. Dream" (Faure- Maier), piano numbers. Exquisite organ selections, "Pipes of Pan" and "Twilight M°ths" both, by Clokey, were played by Elizabeth Jameson. Marjorie Emmett in lovely soprano intonations vocalized "Ave Maria" (Bach-Gounod) and "One Fine Day" (Puccini). Debussy's "Gdliwagg's Cake Walk" and Niemann's "Mr. Pick- wich" and "The Fat Boy" were delightfully portrayed by Rosemary Clark with piano Jsolos. . Verna Baer played "Concerto No. 23" (Viotti)-, violin selection, with skill. Gordon Booth presented C. Smith's "Margaret Polka" as a trumpet solo. Rosemary Clark Gives Concert Rosemary Clark, distinguished sophomore in the School of Music, was the artist on the Stetson University radio broadcast from WDBO in Orlando last Monday night. Her program originated in the studios in DeLand, and consisted of the following numbers played on the studio Brambach: Scherzo, c sharp minor by Chopin; Mr. Pickwick by Niemann, and the Fat Boy, also from Walter Niemann's papers. Her final selection was the Golliwogg's Cake Walk by Claude DeBussy. Miss Clark's performance was the sixth in the current season's programs presented every Monday evening~bat 10 o'clock by the students and the faculty members of the university. The special committee on; radio- broadcasting, headed by P. I. Lipsey, agreed this year to produce a weekly 15 minute program in preference of i last year's irregularity. The new schedule is proving successful oyer that of last year. will be presented in chapel sometime next week. There is still time for the lyrically-minded to say it with music, and incidentally, perhaps win the ten dollars which Prof. Bailey is offerng to the writer of the best song submitted. , Mary- Helen Hill was elected president of the Freshmen Women's Council which will function during the year. Artists And Models Prepare For Show Students Busv With Plans For W.A.A. Benefit On November 4 A large cast for the Artists and Models Show is getting ready to entertain the University next Thursday afternoon. There will be campus favorites, and others whose ability has not, as yet, been publicized. An orchestra, songs and instrumental selections, and dramatic skits, as well as the most striking and beautiful of the fall styles are waiting to delight the audence. The acts, some of the mhsic and the continuation are original, and have been written by members of the student body. Artsts and Models will be a new affair on the social calendar, and if early signs are of any worth,, it will be one which will appear again as it is to be an annual event. Beautiful girls and handsome men are eager to astound their fellows with their charm and talent. There will be comedy, and dulcet harmonies, fun, frivolity and fashions. . The W.A.A, Swimming Pool should have a flood of support, and the players a' shower of new admirers. After the Show the audience and cast will" adjourn to Chaudoin Parlors where refreshments will be served and the highlights of the program will certainly furnish ample subjects for conversation.

'! 7; . , ■•' '""" '■ .' Lydia Theurer, playing the role of Lucy Chase Wayne, Washington social leader, achieved a peak of perfectiorf while steering her husband, Gadi Lawton, into the" presidential nomination. To ac- complish her .purpose Mrs. Wayne was forced to a legal technicality revealing her larch-rival, Irene Hibbard, to be wife to Carter Hibbard though not yet divorced from her first husband. Hal Hall, the stuffed- shirt Carter Hibbard ,isn't quite certain what it is all about, but his wife, velveted, by Myra Machen, after baring her; claws, quietly slinks from the picture. Undoubtedly, Charlotte FergU' son, the omniscient social secretary, Sophie Prescott, was the individual scene-stealer. Her poise, controlled voice and stagje 7; presence were a revelation. Marjorie McClure, kv genue, turned in a delightful portrayal of naievete.
