Newest feature of the mammoth celebration is a con' est which began Monday to see which student can grow , 1) the best looking beard, (2) — ••■ the longest beard, and (3) the ugliest beard. Every student wishing to participate in the beard-growing contest must follow the rules outlined by the Reporter staff, sponsors of the contest. A committee made up of members of the staff will judge the participants, and a suitable prize will be awarded to the winner in the three divisions. . . The first protest of the Sadie' irf Tot thec A™encan Association awkins beard-erowine contest oi J:avv Schools, according to honor system is working smoothly. He said that he had not received any replies yet, but that he had contacted the University of North Carolina, the University of Virginia and others. Dr. Allen, who has been connected with educational work many years and is familiar with working honor systems of other campuses, mentioned the honor system of the University of Virginia as one that has worked exceptionally well. "It has been working for a developed until it works not only in the classroom, but in the bookstore, on the candy stands, and even in the sale of football tickets," Dr. Allen said. Several campuses which have Honor systems in operation are, University of North Carolina, University o f Pennsylvania, University of Virginia, University of Florida, and Emory Uni- \ ersity. "The primary points of an honor system entail the honor of individuals as well as good citizenship of all in seeing that others maintain the same honor," Dr. Allen said. "Working out such a system would require 100 percent cooperation of all hundred years or more, and has [ students, faculty, and student government, and would also concern working out a plan of penalties for offenders." Hawkins beard-growing contest has come from the barbers of DeLand. "What do you guys want to do—run us out of business?" The owner of a local barber shop said when.he learned of the contest. "After all, I have a family to support, and Sadie Hawkins or no, I'm agin' it." Co-eds Complain Other barbers have expressed similar views. However they have agreed to stay open Satur- clay night to take care of the students --who wish to get shaved following a strenuous week of pampering their beards. Other campus opposition has come from the co-eds who have dates with cintestants during the Sadie Hawkins weekend. "I am in favor of Sadie Hawkins clay, but when my date has to go around looking like Pete the Tramp it has gone too far," one co-ed said curtly. Another expressed much the same opinion. "I don't mind my (late dressing like Lonesome Polecat," she said,"but I think (Continued on Page Eight) Theurer, Vance Scheduled to Oppose Englishmen Tuesday The first International debate in the History of Stetson will take place Tuesday, Nov. 21, when the Stetson debate squad meets the-Oxford debate team on the stage in Eliza' bethHall. .. . The two teams will debate the subject, "That Isola' tionism is both practical and desirable," with Stetson taking the affirmative. This subjert was chosen only after much deliberation as the Oxford team wishes to avoid other more controversial subjects which might piace them in the position of attempting to influence or dictate public opinion in regard to the British cause in the European War. As this is undoubtedly the outstanding event on the debating calendar for this year- a capacity crowd is expected. The Debate, which is a non-decision affair, will begin promptly at eight o'clock. There will be no admission. The Oxford group is one of the most colorful teams to appear in this country, advocating a more informal type of debating filled with clever and witty points, and depending a great deal on audience contact. Members of- the S/te'tson team are Vance Graham '42L and Lydia Theurer '40" in the order named with Kadi Lawton '41 as alternate. The- Oxford team is composed of Peter Street, Exeter College, Txford. and Edward R. G! Heath of Ballfol College Oxford. "The members of the Oxford Debate Teams are trained from their early childhood for a career in politics, and even at very young ages sometimes become national^ famous politicians in England," Prof. C. Addison Hickman, coach of the Stetson Debate squad, commented. Edward R. G. Heath, older member of the team, is twenty- three years old and has already proven himself to be a leader in affairs at Balliol College.
