DEAN NOTES TREND TOWARD FINER SCHOOL SPIRIT AMONG NEWCOMERS Robert Crawford Cotner, Dean of Men, recently noted several promising tendencies among the Freshmen men that point to the enrichment of campus life during their stay at Stetson. First, dormitory life seems to be increasing in popularity' for there are now waiting lists of men who would like to find accommodation in both Stetson and Conrad halls. Perhaps it is the new lounge at Conrad which is responsible in. an indirect way for some of this popularity, for now the.men may all meet at one time for socialibil'ity and interchange of ideas where formerly, it was necessary to meet in smaller, groups. New men, Dean Cotner said, are entering whole-heartedly into the life and discussions of the campus groups and are contributing a diversity of talent both instrumental and vocal to help enliven the various campus activities. ;,:^.jD^an^GetneJf i«as pleased to note' admission to among the new men who are entering Stetson to prepare for the ministry an almost unanimous purpose to follow Stetson training with a seminary course. This suggests both that the hardest pressure of the depression is past and, even more imnortant, that the need for well-rounded training is apparent to these men who are preparing to lead in religious life. Regarding pre-medical men, the dean referred to Dr. John F. Conn, professor of chemistry, who said: "For the first time since I came to Stetson, nine years ago, no single scholar in the entering pre-medical group is planning to take only the minimum two years' work, but all are looking forward to three or four years' work,at Stetson." This means not only that the men are realizing that there is something more than a bare minimum of work needed to gajn the good medical Realizing the rapid growth and expansion of Stetson, the city of DeLand, in agreement with Dr. W. S. Allen, has authorized the establishing of two parking spaces on the' University campus. Mayor A.' C. Hatch, city-manager Grant Bly, and commissioner F. N. DeHuy inspected the traffic situation here and saw the need for &uch a project. The increasing number of students with automobiles has created a traffic problem on both Minnesota avenue and the Boulevard. By eliminating cars parking on the these two streets, the danger of accidents will be lessened. Hard shell filling has already been hauled in the place on the east side of the driveway that runs behind DeLand and Chaudoin halls, making a suitable place to park. The other space will be in the rear of the Science building. The two sections will be sufficient to accommodate all the cars of the students and the faculty, leaving the streets free for the safety of pedestrians in crossing. Since the opening of school this fall, cars have been restricted from parking on the north side of Minnesota. __ Even this did not relieve the congestion so the city fathers took further steps toward the protection of Stetson students and speeding up traffic. PI GAMMA MU WILL PLAN TUESDAY MEET Under the direction of Paul Mc- Entire, president, Pi Gamma Mu, national social science society, held its first meeting of the year last week. The purpose of this meeting was for consideration and discussion of new members and the laying of various plans for the year. It was decided that regular meetings were to be held the second Tuesday of each month at two thirty in the afternoon in room 204 of Elizabeth Hall. Plans now include some meetings which will be open to the general public, addressed by speakers of note. schools, and that there is something which the well-educated doctor has to offer his patients besides pills. By Robert Barnett Politics claimed the attention of the Stetson citizenry the first of: this week with the holding of elections for class officers. In all of the elections there - was evidenced!.: a great amount of party loyalty ore- the part of both Frats and Non- Frats. Veterans of bygone political campaigns on Stetson's campus are almost unanimous in expressing the^ opinion that there was more solidarity among the Freshman Noa- Frats this year than heretofore. ■ Before the actual nominations of," Freshman class officers had tak'efif place the leaders of the Non-Frats seemed confident that their candidates would be running- ahead of their rivals from the fraternity groups.
