The Stetson Reporter

Che teteon Reporter "■•''*■■*&% "Florida's Oldest College Newspaper" 70th YEAR STETSON UNIVERSITY; DELAND, FLORIDA FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1957 "REPORTER ERRED" SAYS FACULTY ATHLETIC COMMITTEE The Stetson REPORTER erred when it said that a^ll academic . siommittments would be cut off at the end of the year, says Dean ,;>*Edward Furlong, .head of "the Faculty Athletic Committee. He > stated that the REPORTER'S in- . ^formation was erroneous and on information received from dissatisfied people. All Commitments will be fulfilled, as agreed, except that the atheletic will be reauired to perform some type of service to the University ' which will occupy about the same amount of time that their football commitments required of them. Furlong expressed surprise that the REPORTER published the 1 'information as it did since he had attempted to make every effort " to emphasize that the eommit- , /ments would be continued. Football schedules are in the process of being made up for the i958year, he said, but due to the .tenuous nature of the plans nothing can be released at this date. ."Football will be continued on an unsubsidised basis," he stated in conclusion.
