Our advertisers exhibited a terrific amount of enthusiasm for the publication, which should be an incjen- tive for each student to contribute toward the compilation of data necessary for the hook.

Integration Is Topic In SGA Assembly Students Are Best Stetson Recruiters "The two strongest attractions at Stetson for the high school student who is frying to choose his college arc the importance of religion as it effects campus life and the quality of the students." This statement closed a special report to the REPORTER by tho Director of Admissions Mr. Arthur F. Tuttle after studying a freshman questionaire. In his report he pointed out that one of the greatest influences exerted by the University is through the student body presently enrolled. Studying returns from a questionairre submitted to entering freshmen this past Fall, he indicated that the largest number of students entering had chosen Stetson because of associations with upperclassmen. Tin' quest io.-iairre which was divided into three parts dealt with: 1. Special advantages and attractions offered by Stetson: 2. Personal Contact influences;-3. Publicity Influences. Tops in the first category was the religious emphasis which Stetson gives to its academic life, the size of the student bocSy, the general friendly attitude which prevades the campus, the excellent scholastic standing and the type of student that attends Stetson. In the second category students were shown to exert tlie greatest personal contact influence with- visits to the campus, parents, friends and ministers falling in line behind. Mr. Tuttle emphasized the predominant spot tnat student personal contact had and urged tlie student body to consider ways to help increase the p'resent growth of Stetson while retaining' tlie panic level of quality. To this end the REPORTER will publish weekly articles on this subject. *CAPAC1TY ATTENDANCE EXPECTED AT 10 AM MEETING Today a 10:00 the Student Government Assembly will take up two heated topics of debate on the Stetson Campus. The first will be incorporated in the Treasurer's Report and will be a reeeommendation by the SGA Executive Uoimcil that the Student Activity Fee be increased by 75 cents. Perhaps the main point of interest will be the motion presented by the Baptist Student Union Executive Council before the holidays. The Council proposed an end to segregation on the Stetson Campus. Non-compulsory The assembly meeting will be the first non-compulsory Friday assembly in a year and a half but attendance is expected to. bo far above average. Ko special scats will bo reserved except for the staff members of the Stetson REPORTER who will cover the meeting. Opposition First signs of an organized opposition to the BSU proposal came Thursday morning when signs appeared on the Soda Shop urging students to vote against the proposal.

Tie stated in a. discussion with the Editor that he did not anticipate any disturbances in the meeting today.
