Approximately. 20 students in the journalism class went to the court house Thursday 'morning and found themselves in the middle of a bigamy case involving two negro women and a negro man. It was so interesting they went back Friday. The clasps had been studying various type's of courts and what types of cases were held in each. Since they did not know too much about the law, they had to see to believe. MEMBERS ADDED TO GROWING STETSON FACULTY Faculty members are being added as the student enrollment increases.

MISS BICIS AND DELEGATES ATTEND MO. CONVENTION Miss Esther Hick, instructor in the Physical Education department, Roselyn Seckinger, president of the W. A. A., and Joyce Caldwell, have just returned from the 51st annual convention of the American Association for Health .and. Physical. Education and Becreation held in St. Louis, Mo. During the various group meetings, discussions, on ways for tying the Physical Education Department in with the other liberal arts school in the universities were held. Physical education for people in all walks of life was studied in the group meetings, the main topic being: "Women's Sports—today and a glimpse of tomorrow," including talks by such outstanding persons in service as Lt. Conim. Alice Schriver, Waves; Major Donna I. Niles; WAC. In industry, Floyd R. Eastwood, professor of Industrial Recreations of Purdue University.' In schools and colleges, Gertrude Moulton, University of Michigan. The three attending the convention in St. Louis found as a whole the experience of meeting the outstanding people in the field of health and physial education and recreation inspiring. It was announced that the 52nd annual convention would be held in Seattle, Washington. Stetson girls showed how much they wanted to return to their "dear old Alma Mater," when they gathered in Elizabeth Hall at the crack of dawn Thursday morning to reserve a room for next year. Girls were not allowed to leave their dorms before 7 a.m. and at that time, running from everywhere they made a mad dash for the Administration building. Screams of "How did you get here first?'' came from all directions as the line rapidly formed as far back as the Bursar's office. Reliefs came frequently, allowing the waiting girls to rush to the Commons for a bite to eat and hurry back so they' would not miss anything. Some girls were even smart enough "to bring their breakfast with them. As 'Miss Turner came in the building at 7 o'clock, the girls pressed anxiously toward the door of the Dean of Women's 'office, with only one thought" in mind—to "get the room they wanted. . As they came out of the Dean's office, ijt wasi quick to see whether they had been successful or not. A smile meant yes, and a woeful look meant no. But as they looked at the long line they breathed a sigh of relief that they had even gotten a room at all. It's all in a day's work, they said, as they eagerly made plans with their new suite mates. of the library, in Arden, in 1916. One of the backdrops to be used in this play is a copy of the actual Forest of Arden backdrop used in the original play. The play is done in three cycles: the faires, the mortals, and the rustics. Shakespeare intended this as a dream, and it should be viewed as such. It is easy to understand and very entertaining. -Puck, the mischievious fellow who puts the love potion in the players eyes is to be played by Sarah Martha Adams. Joe Camp is cast as Demetrius, Jack Causier as Lysander, Marguerite Dibble as Hermia, Janice Douglas as Helena, and Dick Mansur as Bottom.

The. purpose of this experiment is to have a better understanding and friendship between the United States and Latin American neighbors. Each student will spend from 4 to 6 weeks living in the home of a Mexican family, and 2 to 4 weeks in traveling to points of interest. They will have an opportunity for a first hand acquaintance with the Mexican people. The students chosen for this honor have been selected for high scholarships, along with personality, adaptability, and a genuine interest in and liking -for people. Miss Nordmann is majoring in seretarial science, but she is a brilliant student of the Spanish language, and is president o fthe Alpha Kappa chapter of Sigma Delta Pi, national honorary Spanish fraternity. This scholarship is a gift of a Stetson alumni, Mrs. Guillermo Benedetti of Chiago, the former Mary Lou Davis, who was a member of this experiment group in 1942. DEBATE SQUAD OFF TO KENTUCKY Stetson debate squad left yesterday for Georgetown, Ky., where they will compete in a combination province tournament of Pi Kappa Delta, national debate fraternity. This will be the nearest thing to a national meeting held this year because of housing accommodations. Provinces included are the Southeastern and Great Lakes which have the greatest Pi Kappa Delta memberships in the United States. Prof. J. Albert Tracy, coach of the debate squad, stated that Stetson should make a good showing. He added that, the local team was inexperienced, this being the first year for most of the members, but that. this should not be a disadvantage because most schools would be under- • going the same difficulties of reestablishing debating. Stetson will have a two-member team in both the girls' and boys' divisions. Each team will debate both sides of the issue. This will be Stetson's first out of state trip since the war. In by-gone years Stetson's debate teams travelled widely and figured prominently in the debate field. The teams are: Iris June Hart and Dot Richardson, Joe Johnson and Charles Clements. The question for debate is: Resolved: that the foreign policy of the United States should be directed toward the establishment of free trade throughout the nations of the world. BAPTIST GO TO CAMP OLENA We Baptists will take off again this weekend for the spring retreat at Camp O'Lena which is quite a treat. Located by a cool lake, this camp -is for the purpose of training and giving important information to the new B. S. U. students' officers, as well as inspiring other Baptist students that wish to go. . One year fifteen students yere crowded into a pick-up truck. Another year we used a' car from the (guess!) funeral home. Who knows what will happen this year! This year's trip leaves from Elizabeth Hall Saturday, April 20. About forty students are expected to go. Representatives of all Baptist Stu; dent Unions in the state will attend this encampment.
