DELAND, FLA., WEDNESDAY, NOV. 1, 1939 Z103 Price Five Cents Frat Party Sweeps Homecoming Election With Mason and Clark Victors Election of Mayor and Hostess Climax Arrangements for Homecoming By a convincing majority Ed Mason and Sarah E. Clark of Stetson's Fraternity Party scored a surprising victory in the race for Homecoming mayor and hostess. Showing none of the power which earned triumphs in earlier elections, the Non-Frat Party was never in the run' ning as candidates Arthur Robertson and Nell Mires were overwhelmingly defeated. Out of the total of 672 ballots cast, Mayor Ed Mason polled 432 votes, while his runriing mate, Hostess Saral. E. Clark, polled 415 votes. Nominations and voting took place in chapel Tuesday morning. The election of mayor and hostess finds arrangements for Homecoming nearly completed. The series of radio broadcasts sponsored by the Mystic Krewe in conjunction with alumni in various Florida cities is proceeding according to schedule, Ward Hunter, captain, announced. According to Hunter, the Homecoming parade is shaping up nicely. Arrangements are being made to bring the Kaydettes, Miami Edison girl drill team, here for the event. The Trocadettes, a girl team from Lake Worth will also participate. The Krewe is experiencing some difficulty in securing band units to take part iji the parade. Hunter said this was due in part to the fact that most high school units were appearing at their own games in Armistice Day. To date the only* band definitely scheduled to appear in the parade, Avhile is being staged jointly by the Mystic Krewe and the DeLand American Legion, are the Stetson University band, and the DeLand and Bunnell high school units. Many of the honorary and professional organizations have already completed plans for their breakfasts, to be held at 7:15 Saturday morning. Phi Alpha Delta legal fraternity, Kappa Sigma Epsilon chemistry fraternity, the Ministerial Association, and Sigma Nu Phi are few of the organisations which will have breakfasts.

A. and "S" Club Sponsor Affair—"Stetson Reel" Introduced Apples bobbing elusively, sedate sorority girls wetting noses and chins in ice cold water; donuts wagging gaily on the end of a cord followed by eager noses and open mouths of Stetson's "Joe Collegiates."- Music, dim lights, games, laughter—the Hallowe'en party given by the WAA and the S Clubs in Cummings Gym Saturday night.

Navy won the first game_ 28-0. Johnson of Navy ctarred in this game and was largely responsible for the victory. Soon thereafter he resigned from Navy Academy and went to Virginia.
