A Plus Costs, Loser Four Meals Out of the grim era of grade- release-time conies the tale of four I Conrad girls who made a game of j the whole affair by making a pact back in January that the person receiving the lowest grade in their hardest subject would take the others out to dinner. With the help of the Registrar's Office, who placed the grades in sealed envelopes, the girls managed to add to the suspense by unveiling the loser after the meal and just in time to pay the bill. The party date was set for hist Friday night which forced the girls for two days to answer the inquiries of how did you make out this quarter, with the fact that their gTados were tucked away in a desk drawer unopened. Everyone enjoyed it very much including Gentry who lost by a plus. The smiles on the faces of Stetson students these days are duo to the announcement made by Dr. Allen in chapel last Friday. Stetson is going to have a soda fountain. Just to see how much thc "kids" really wanted one, here are the answers I received when I asked them "Would you like to have a soda fountain at Stetson ?" D. K. Smith—"The schools that I have visited prior to coming to Stetson, all have had soda fountains and a place for students to lounge during their free time. I think that's what Stetson needs to make it a success.'' Mary Jane Fitzpatrick — "There times when a soda or milkshake would really hit the spot between classes." Jimmy Kelson—"Tho school does need a social center, and if the soda fountain would provide that center, then that's what we need—also, the grill should bo reopened." Virginia Harris—"Definitely, it is part of tho school which should be included with class buildings and dormitories. This is one of the few schools which does not have a soda fountain." Patsy Norris—"Nearly all schools have such a center for students to meet in their free time. If Stetson continues to go forward, we must have a soda fountain-" Russell Stilwell — (!One of the institutions most closely connected with the well-rounded college, is the student soda fountain. It places a great handicap on the student body that there is no such place to meet friends and enjoy a cooling uplift these hot days. By all means let's have one at Stetson, this is the Twentieth Century!" Alida Reaves—"I think that a social center such as a soda fountain- is what Stetson needs to make it a success. I am definitely in favor of it." "Red" Martin—"I believe a soda fountain would be one of the greatest social assets a college could have. We need a greater all-campus social program," Gladys Scott—"Yes, most other colleges have one and that's what we need to have a well-rounded college life." Mary Ann Posner — "Friendliness on this campus has always been one of our goals. A soda fountain is one of the best ideas that can be put over as a social center. Since school has been rapidly increasing, the book store is just too small."
