Inquiring Reporter By Nadinc P>ono [ Scene: Anyplace on the campus of I si small college made up of over 800 i students. This college happens, to be -named for the famous maker of hats. John B. Stetson. The inquiring reporter breaks up a bull session at Reese's or a bunch of politicians on tbe steps of Elizabeth Hall and asks the question that immediately launches a series of any .number of answers—The question: Should the Atomic Bomb be Shared With tho Best of the World? Clifford Swain: "Due to the present conditions of tbe woild I think ' we should keep tbe secret until we find out what Russia is going to do ' tibo.it their loreign policy. However, if the UNO is successful with Bus- | jia, then share atomic energy for the | Vnefit of mankind.'' Dutch Fimderburk: "T think it should be shared with oilier nations because 1 don't think that any one nation srould ha\e the power of de-| ■struclion that the atomic bomb offers. I think that it should either he shared with al] nations or that .all formulas, research, and bombs -already made should be destroyed." Loren Williams: "One dav this HATTERS WIN FIVE OUT OF EIGHT GAMES Pictured 'above are ihe Stetson Hatters who have a .!>2."> average for this season in basketball.

I'm inclined to agree I wilh the president because even in ■our own private lives when we are . are striving for the eamo goal with ■ our friends as the nations are now,. we can't have any secrets and still! hold the confidence of our friends. Likewise, if we are to keep the confidence of our neighbors it seems as though we should release the ■secret to them." Doug Teal: "It should be shared •with the rest of the world in the Tespeet that it should he dropped on them!" Jerry Oiroir: "1 do not think the atomic bomb should be shared with the rest of the world because of i their tendency to pull sneaky at- ' tacks and treacherous movements upon otluT unions. Once these nations have been given the atomic bomb, there is no telling when or where the next war will originate." Russell Dixon: "It depends on the, circumstances that they give if. I Undt>r the present conditions, no. They will have to come to more permanent settlement on international pacts that they have already. Also they should project their goodwill i to include a good neighbor policy. One of which would be to have a proportionate number of students from all major nations should be exchanged for educational purposes. Then the statesmen would become as concerned about sharing Christianity as about sharing the secrets of the atomic bomb. Many of the problems of the world would come to a solution." Freddy Oeromanos: "No we should not share the atomic bomb with other nations. T think the government's idea to turn the atomic bomb secrets over to tho civilian agency is good." John Oodbec: "No, our government is a representative government and some other nations are not." Doe Hevey: "T think it shouldn't because it can be held by the U. S. as an instrument of peace." MISS CLARK RESENTS RECITAL The audience at JVliss Clark's i-eei(al last night whs thrilled by her piograiu, purtiiihirly her original com posit on, "Campus Scenes." This composition, which IVlisa Clark recently completed, was arranged in three parts: "Girls' Dorm," "Chapel Bells," and "Night Life." "Chapel Bells" was a beautiful little sketch of a typical part of campus life. The other two parts the audience found to be very amusing and entertan- ing. Other outstanding numbers were the fascinating "Tarantella"' by Liszt. "Pnvane"' by Pavel, and numbers by Chopin and Brahms. The audience was also delighted by •'Excerpts from Tales of the Vienna Woods" by Strauss, which Miss Clark arranged herself.

MM CHRISTIANALITIES Most of the students that are interested in Baptist Training Union work have been very busy this week. They have all been going to the First Baptist Church to attend a study course. These study courses were offered Monday through Thursday. Friday night. Dr. Beall spoke to the issociational Training Union meeting at tbe First Baptist Church. Those that were present for that service really enjoyed tbe message that Dr. Beall brought: Vespers this week have been very interesting. The attendance was good but it could be better. We had some very outstanding speakers, that were in DeLand for the study courses. These were Rev. Harry Liechty from Jacksonville and Kev. Ben Hall from Titusville. Besides these two speakers we had Flournoy Jernigan, Tommy Dean, and Dodson Mills. If you did not hear these five speakers you haye really missed a great spiritual blessing. Rev. Ben Hall compared the Vespers crowd with that of the prayer meeting. He said that the prayer meeting Christians were tlie heart of the church and that the Vesper Christians were the nucleus of the Christian Student Body. Are you a part of that nucleus? If not, why not! Dr. Beall spoke at the Youth Meeting of DeLand this week. Ho was very good. The hour and one- half spent there was well worth its time to those that went. Loraine Williams resigned as leader of this meeting due to his church work in (Continued On Page Four) ONVENTION TO BE HELD AT STETSON A joint convention of the Florida Student Government Association and the Florida Press Association will be held at Stetson April 5th and 6th.

CM 1MUSICA ROBE The Annua] Spring Fantasy this year took 1 he form ol a jleasure cruise to Soul]] America. The stage in Elizabeth Hall was fixed o look like an ocean liner with its decks lined with singers, tbe men in white and the girls in pastel formals. The program opened with nil overture played by Leonard Widerer and Iris June Flart on trumpets. Donna Lee Steckel on trombone, Hugh McKinley on drums, Joaquin do Quin- tala on Moroccos and Alma Grantham on piauo. The curtains opened with tho entire group singing and then Uerman Turnage acted as skipper and announced the native music which was sung at each "port of call." "In Cuba" was sung by the girls ensemble; "Ad-De-Dey" was done by George Kreska, baritone, assisted by a trio composed of Edna Garrett, Irene Moreland and Jean Yarnum. At the second "port of call"—• Uruguay, the glee club gave some ovcer,i1o from '"Carmen.-' 'I In- soloists in this woro Ruth Oback, Lu- cile Mayo and Alice Parkhurst. At Argentine. Delva Register played "Eslrellita" on the marimba. The chorus sang a Chilean folg song, "Flowing River." Tv hen tbeyr reached Peru, the girls ensemble sa.ng a Peruvian folk-song, "Hymn to the Sun." The next piece was "Malagaena," a brilliant number played on the piano by Jimmie Danford. xVs an encore he did the familiar "Ritual Fire Dance." Tbe male chorus did the rythmic "Begin the Beguine" by Cole Porter. When the glee club reached Colombia, some of the fellows discovered some senorilas up in the balcony and ■promptly left the boat. Soon they came back with the senorilas and delighted the audience with a Flora- dora Sextette. The "senors": Sisk, McMillan, Kreska, Dinwiddie and Akin. The "senoritas"': Ward, Haig- ler, Fowler2 Lupfer, Tribble and Langston. The last "port of call" was Home. As the full chorous sang "Thank You America" by Jurman and Grossman, a large U.
