Male students were preparing to use the ras-or-blade shortage as a lebitimate excuse for mabing themselves glamorous, with a Van-Dyke and "cookie-duster" to match. "Thumbs down on that idea," sayfe the female population. American men have always been backward on the subject of shaving. Very rarely do they become masters of the art; when they do, they nick more chin than they do whiskers. One commentator a short time ago told his radio audience thai men should use only one blade per week. Housewives became panicky. They used the blades when "Hubby" was at the office —and left it with as many nicks as Hilly the Kid's gat had when he died. But it was a good way to help National Defense. This . steel shortage didn't seem to get across the Atlantic ic England, but then England always has been a little slow to catch on on the curtailments on anything. You can bet that they (Continued on Page 4) Bi-Monthly Music Program Next Tues.

Stetson Blackout Success Says Clark Stover and Giffin Have Charge of Entertainment Stetson University's participation in the third air raid practice blackout of central Florida counties was marked as one hundred percent "perfect" last night by Harold Clark, chief air raid warden, for the special district, and Grafton H. Pyne, coordinator for the Stetson University Defense Council. The blackout went off minus casualties, replaced by a good spirit and high morale on the part of each and every person on the campus. The unique touch from the standpoint of morale most pleasing to defense officials came from the various dormitories where students sang songs,' and told stories, and in so doing were re-enacting actual air raid conditions. In charge of this entertainment were Dr. Irving C. .Stover, chairman of the entertainment committee for the Defense Council, and Professor Harold M. Giffin. Those in charge in thc various dormitories and fraternity houses, included: Frances Arkley and Helen Bennett, Chaudoin Hall; Miss Bernice Young, Stevens Hall: Chris Napoli, and Robert Wheatley. .Stetson Hall; James Golden. Conrad Hall; Clifford Wynns, Pi Kappa Phi House, and Gordon Williamson, Sigma Nu House.

Spring Training Ends St. Louis Browns Leave DeLand Big Leaguers Departed Monday for Homie Field Well, spring training is over, at least for the "Browns." Few Stetson students appreciated the fact that big-leaguers trained in li'l ole DeLand. But then, from what has been heard from some of the players, neither did the Browns appreciate the unappar- ent liveliness of our not-too-gay night life. The idea that most people gather about base-ball players is that they are just a pack of "bush" leaguers from the country. However, most of the boys are educated in large universities all over the country. They are still "Joe Colleges" when they are off the diamond. With just a little bit of luck, and good playing ability they stepped from cap and gown into a national- pastime uniform, and started making the grade from Class "D" ball. Take "Junior" Stephens for an example; Stephens played shortstop for the University of Southern California, then he migrated to the majors via Toledo (Double "A" league). He is just another promising rookie just out of college, and very much like the under-grads of Stetson. He likes to break training rules, do things he's not supposed to do while playing ball, and date, just like any other campus "wolf." In their rooms at the hotels, where they stay during the season, they have room-mates; they play poker to keep from talking shop. Then, after losing all their money, they borrow more from their "roomies" so they can date that cute girl from the local U. It's all the same if you're in Continued on page 4) STATISTICS SHOW STETSON QUINT TO BE BEST OF SEVERAL YEARS Independent Hatters Compile Enviable Season's Record.
