"Arms and The Lion", of which the recent "Chocolate Soldier" is the musical adapti"^, was presented in 1917. The, plot of this production is based on the familiar fable of the man who took a thorn out of the foot of a lion, and who later had his life saved by the grateful lion. That is, it is an adaptation insofar as George Bernard, Shaw can be said to be an adaptation of anything so naive and gentle as an Old fable. Laid in the ancient days of Christian persecution, Roman Gladjiators, and animals hungry for the martyrs, the play is in two acts ..and a prologue, with scenes laid in a forest, the approach of the Coliseum, and the "waiting room" below the arena,. .

(The identify of the lien is being kept in the strictest anonymity.) Bob Barnett, Mickey Magenheim, and Katie were special guests at the Kiwanis Club Luncheon, at Hotel Marion, in Ocala on Friday. Bob was guest speaker of the day arid talked on the "Seeing Eye Dog". He told how much it meant to its owner, and made special reference to Katse, whom he used for demonstrations as he talked. The principal of the High school, who was present at the luncheon, asked Bob to speak that afternoon at the High School, during the Assembly period. During his talk, he had a number of opportunities to put in a few good words for Stetson, and he did so with the greatest efficiency. The pleasant surprise of the day for Mickey took place when he saw Johnny Weissmuller, who had just come away from lunch, and was walking down the highway at Silver Springs. Mr. Weisemuller is on location there for his new Tarzan picture. ^ j ,e inquiring Reporter !TET DAYTOMA CLU Tourist Club Hears I?

QUESTION: What do you think of the Dating Bureau? Dick Cheatham: I think it's a soit of Junior High School idea. If ! a man hasn't the initiative and per- ; soncdity to get a; date on his own j he isn't worth hav>.g a date with. j ' Allen Spanier: It's ill right but I don't see why we! need cne a- round here, there are more girls i than boys and if a boy wants a date all he has to do is ask On the other hand it would!'-be good for ■ the girls. i Jane Powell: I think it's kinda silly.. Vin Stacy: I think it's an insult to the Pi Kaps. It's the same as insinuating that we need the help of the Sigma Nus to get dates. If anyone needs help it's the Sigma Nus as shown by Smith's encroachment on the rights of Gustavson. John Griffith: If it'llhelp anybody . . .O.K. Bessie Mae Edwards: 'Taint right,: 'taint natural, Don't like it. Tom Cobb: Due :to circumstances over which I have no control ... well, hot much, anyway, it would be inexpedient for me to express an opinion oq;' this question. But-,:off the record, I'm in favor of it. ■>■■ Bettie Lee Gilliland: pi think it's a good idea but I really think the campus is too small and^the people know each other too wjjjjl.for-it.to. be a success. -7? Harold Smith: L-don^t like it. I; feel that the boys and girls can get dates and associations better with- out having a bureau tdjddit-for them. I think this will fk\% through because you can't get th^-eoopera- ition of the student bo|y. Then, ltoo, there are a! lot of!|boys and girls that go steady tha$ wouldn't want to have such athing;. ? Judy Mercer: It's a go(|d idea for girls who don't have date^i k Mickey Magenheim. Iikthey don't establish their office i^ the grill* they'll be making,a big mistake. Grace Ahlers: I think^that for anyone who, as yet, hasn't found* someone on the campus wiith whom he would like to go the dating bureau would be satisfactory. But for my own . personal opinion, I wouldn't resort to someone else chosing my escorts. k J. W. McCormick: rt|hinkit's a very solouberious idea for there\ are quite a few students[;here in school that are timid, or a bit backward, when it comes to asking for dates.

Blue ;Key , honorary fraternity at the University of Georgi|, recently voted tfj adobt the "IriJk-a-week" plan to isecure a jnew infiJrmary.. The highily touted University of Georgia baseball team arrives in DeLand next Sunday for a couple of games with Stetson's Independents, Monday and Tuesday night in Conrad Field. According to advance notices, this is the best team to represent the University of Georgia since 1928. Coach "Doc" Johnson refused to predict a victory for his boys, but he did say, "I believe that we have a chance to win if we get the breaks. We know that these Georgia boys are tough, but also, we have a greatly improved team. I expect to see a close game." This is the first out-of-state college team to play Stetson in several years. "Doc Johnson" is attempting to get the Stetson ball club recognized among the larger schools of the South in an effort to return Stetson to its place in the sun of the intercollegiate baseball world. If Stetson can make a good showing against such teams as the ones from Georgia, Havana, Florida, and Rollins, then it will be possible to schedule other good teams next year. Either Warren or Harnage will- start on the mound Monday night,, with the probability that Warren will get the nod. Gunby, rookie pitcher, has shown up well in practice and is expected to serve either to start the second game or as relief.'Either Sample or Les Harnage will start behind the plate, Les has been playing football ever since baseball practice started, so Samplp will probably be Doc'is choice. Sample caught a great game at Raiford last Saturday, and is expected to continue, to carry the burden of back-stopping Warren's fast ball. -.'•', Captain Jack Gore will lead his team from his customary position. at short stop. Gouldsby will probably be back in the line-up at second base, and Clonts and Mathis will be first and third respectively. In the absence of Harris "Stretch- and-cath-it" Lowery and Ed Walkup, there are two new faces patrolling the outer gardens along with. Vin Schaeffer. North and Arnold are the new-comers who have helped to raise the hopes of the Stetson baseball fans. Carrol Green and Cooper are also outifcld- ers. Payne is the other rookie pitcher who so far this year is an unknown quantity. The substitute jinfielders are Cobb, Ferguson, and [MacMillan. {^ The yearly survey of the nation's juniversities in registration reports a current enrollment of 822,891 full-time stujdents in 577 approved institutions of the nation and a: grand total registration of 1,259,- 975, including part-time and sum- iner school registration.
