I say seme few because the meetings *were very sparsely attended. But those who came did receive much spiritual aid and many blessings. Wednesday night, Dr. Louis 'Evans spoke on a subject which should be vital to every student: '"'From Chaos to Conviction." He outlined three major periods in the spiritual development of the •\Jnited States. We were founded with great conviction; then we passed through a period of hollow tradition; now, he asserts, we are jntering a time of conviction which has been purged by the , ^negative attitudes of the last century. Miss Monica Owen made us aware of many problems hjare in the United States which many of us didn't even know existed. She is a worker with migratory workers and has their interests dose at heart. f Thursday morning, Dr. Camer- - * on Hall gave an extremely informative address concerning the Christian's viewpoint of our foreign policy. m » Dr. Copeland spoke on "The World In Revolution"- -he brought * ifint, many enlightening facts and showed direct application of • "Christianity to the world's problems. - Tjhere were seminar groups held last night concerning the '"• ^Christian's responsibility in social action, concerning the labor ^problem, and the problems of .the Orient, and finally, toward '*the non-Christians of the entire .^vorld. This morning, Rev. C. L. Spotts- wood, the "flying parson of Min- %linao," will speak at assembly on the subject, "The Christian 'Student and the World Crisis," which was the theme of the entire Smphasis Week. ,.

M. Winchester, head of the biology^ department. As far as could be' determined, this was the first time that so many people were given the simultaneous opportunity to look in on the private lives of these cells. And they performed even better than Dr. Winchester hoped they would. According to Dr. Winchester and Dave Derringer, who conducts the "Nature Notes" program, the new technique opens an important avenue in - educational television. The telecast showed Dr. Winchester placing slides under a microscope, and with the use of a prism in the eyepiece, the television camera was able to cap- tare for the screen the microscopic viewers. Adjustments of the slide were made as Dr. Winchester viewed the monitor set. This was Dr. Winchester's third appearance on' ""Nature Notes," and several other members of the faculty have been Derringer's guests for this feature. When WESH completes a new tower near Orange City and increases its power, the station will become one of the most important in this area. Charter Change Called Illegal Stetson trustees meeting last week told, a committee from the Florida Baptist Convention that it is legally impossible to change the University charter in the manner requested by the convention at its meeting last year in Orlando. Instead, a joint session between the Stetson trustees and the full governing board of the Convention, aimed at bringing about closer relations within the framework of the existing University charter, will be held May 7 in Jacksonville, it was announced by Dr. C. H. Bolton, president of the Board of Trustees, and the Rev. Earl Stallings, president of the Florida Baptist Convention. At the Orlando meeting, the Convention voted to ask Stetson trustees to change the charter to enable the convention to elect trustees for the University. By arrangement, a majority of the trustees are Florida Baptists affiliated with the Florida .Baptist Convention. They are elected according to the University's charter, which is by the board itself. Stetson University was founded as an independent Baptist institution of higher learning and received substantial financial support from the Convention.
