Giffin, on the Stetson faculty since 1935, *gave the following outline of the trip: ■^ Leaving DeLand by chartered bus, the club will make its first >> appearance at Avondale Baptist Church in Jacksonville at 8 p.m. * 'Tis A Sad Story: ^Expenses Up Again , General catalogues of Stetson \ University for 1957-58, with addi- *■ tional courses and majors and increased expenses, are being distributed this week to prospective students and those on the campus. The catalogue follows the same format of previous years except that £ the picture section has been eliminated this year. - * In the section on. expenses, tui- i>, tion for the College of Liberal Arts, the School of Business, and the School of Music has been increased ' • from $250 a semester to $300. Meal costs have been increased from $200 ' a semester to $215. A new fee of $10 for membership in the student union has been added. * The increases are explained in a statement from the University business which says in part: , "In these days of general prosperity most of us are still keenly aware of meeting rising costs with static income. Such has been the .»situation at Stetson. To provide the necessary tools of instruction and to support the faculty with a wage sufficient to make their work economically possible is becoming more * difficult without changing the ,.. character of our educational program. "Our faculty believes firmly in this program developed at Stetson; our administration is devoted to providing a better education for our | • . students and does not want to I ■ sacrifice our better product to mone- I tary imperatives. We believe our pa- ' ■. f trons join with us in that determi- I nation. "Therefore, with Prank reluctance , and yet with confidence in the rea- • soning behind the decision, we find ■ ' it mandatory to increase revenues,' derived from student charges .... "Rising food costs have dictated * the increase in the meals charge; this adjustment will make it possible for us to improve quality as we inaugurate our new food service fa- . cilities in the Student Union Building." Saturday. This will be the first appearance of the club in the church's new auditorium. One of the student soloists, Charles Winn, is a member of the church. At 11 a.m. Sunday, the club will make the second appearance at Avon- dale. The second stop will be at Statesboro, Ga., for a concert at 8 p.m. Sunday. This will be a homecoming for Doris Rocker, a senior who is majoring in music education. On Monday, the club will sing at Southside Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, N.C. This is the first visit of the club to Winston- Salem, but they will find there David Early, a Stetson graduate, who is minister of music at the church. At 8 p.m. Tuesday, the club will be in more new territory-- the Pranconia Baptist Church in Arlington, Va. Mrs. Harold Parson, a Stetson alumni,' is minister of music at the church and her husband, now with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is a former manager and member of the club. In the Capital on Wednesday, the day of their concert at 8 p.m. at Luther Rice Baptist Church, Parson and other former members of the club are planning a Stetson get-together and a possible informal appearance in the Rotunda of the Capital. On Thursday, the travel squad will go to Durham, N.C. where they appeared 10 years ago, for a concert at 8 p.m. in Greystone Baptist Church. At 11 a.m. Friday an appearance will be made in the chapel of Southeastern Baptist REVISION FAILS The student body of Stetson will be living under the old constitution for a while longer. The vote of the revision, which came Tuesday, defeated the new Constitution by a count of 219 for the revision, and 96 against. This missed the three-fourths majority necessary by 69 votes. Joel Sloan, Rules and Procedures Chairman, summed up the loss as follows: "I believe the reason for the defeat of the proposed revised Constitution was the failure of the revised Constitution to correct the split assembly situation in addition to the misunderstanding on Article XII, Organizations. Perhaps the latter was the more deciding factor in the referendum." ivy '■'•! yy~2v'-'tic .! Theological Seminary at Wake Forest, N.C. Several students at the seminary are former members of the club. On Friday evening, the club will make a return trip to^ Shelby, N.C, to sing in the First Baptist Church at 8 p.m. This is the home of Al Washburn, one of the two accompanists for the trip. ' On April 13, the Stetson singers will be in Augusta, Ga., for appearances at 8 p.m. on Saturday and again at 11:15 a.m. Sunday in Crawford Avenue Baptist Church.

Morgan Continues As Party Leader Jim Hodge has been nominated for president of the Student Government Association without opposition this week by the University Party. Yesterday the UP primaries were held for the other offices, with a total of 14 nominees competing. The results were not available as the REPORTER went to press. Candidates for vice-president were Joan Bolton. Jackie Hogue, Pat Boss, and Merrill Maguire. Art Holmes, Fred Slaughter, and Phil Newcom were competing for social veep. Competing for the office of secretary were: Beverly Brett, Patsy Milner, Cherry Dell, and Gail Pitt- man. Bill Able, Barbara Wodi- schek, and Wayne Graham ran for treasurer. Those eligible to vote in the primary were the members of the six fraternities and four of the sororities (excluding Alpha Chi and Phi Mu). In a meeting last month the University Party reelected John Morgan (P'KA) as its president. Mary Alice Smith, Alpha Xi, was elected the party's vice-president; Pat Rogers, Pi Phi, secretary; and Wayne Graham, Delta Sig, Treasurer. And according to certain authorities within the party the party "seems to be much better united and a good deal stronger than it was at this time, last year, so it should constitute a powerful threat to reverse the Hatter party's victory of last spring. For the benefit of freshmen and other new-comers to campus politics, Zeke Hepler, leader of the opposition Hatter Party, gives an explanation of one of the .major differences between the two parties: "The Hatter Party, traditionally, has been called the ("Independent Party.) However, to the freshmen this might be confusing, it may be said that the Batter Party is ("Independent" of the University Party, the "Greek" party. In the past four years, and especially in the last two, there has been a spirit of cooperation on the part of both parties.
