These students would be prepared to speak be fore organizations, church groups, and high school classes in their own area giving personal observations concerning the school they chose t0 attend. It would seem logical that Stetson might stand to gain by having its own students, through recognition, doing a better job of "talking up" their alma mater among people who know and respect their opinions in their own home towns.

(Continued on page 7) The Stork Makes It Look Easy Hats Crush Jax Avenge Opener by Diane Disney Stetson's Hi-Hats clicked and "completely annihilated"* Jacksonville University 86-61 Tuesday night in the DeLand Armory- The Wilkesmen out-ran, out-shot, out-rebounded, and generally out-classed the visiting Dolphins.in a onesided contest. The score was tied at 5-all with 16:38 remaining in the first half, and then Warren, Epting, and Hancock pumped in 11 straight points to take a 16-5 lead. Stetson kept hitting until with 10 minutes remaining, they held a 23-10 margin. It took the home team five minutes to- make the 24th point and by then. JU had 17 tallies. SU poured on the points and led 33-19 at the break. The Hats made two for every one of JU's markers early in the second period, and in 5% minutes ran the lead, up -to 29 points. Jax tried to come back; with 3 % minutes to play they narrowed the gap to 76-55, but. the Hats pulled ahead and coasted to a 25-point victory. Stetson seems to have found the extra spark necessary to win in Pat O'Neal, senior forward from Ft. Lauderdale. O'Neal, who incidentally didn't start a. high school game, is the fifth- man with veterans Hancock;, Warren, Epting. and Dompe. His hustling, rebounding, and play- making abilities give the quintet the intangible but essential unity it lacked earlier in the season. Hancock at 20, Epting at 19, and Warren at 18 headed the scoring columns Tuesday for Stetson. The Hats totaled 36 of 61 field goals and 14 of 21 frees throws /-'with 14 personals. Jax connected on 23 of 51 goals and 15 of 21. gratis heaves, with 1 technical and 17 personal fouls. The Hi-Hats overcame a slight height deficit by grabbing 53 to JU's 30 rebounds; Epting with 16 was high for the local squad. Tomorrow night Stetson faces the Mercer Bears at 8:00 in the Armory. The Bears will be out to stop the Hats' 6-5 winning season, and to break the perfect 5-0 record on the home court.. (*phrase borrowed from, statement by JU coach Dick Kendal) STUDENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRAFFIC RULES. Every student is responsible for knowing the traffic regulations of the campus whether or not they own a motor vehicle. This, and other facts were brought to light in an interview with Larry Deets, public relations officer of the Student Traffic Committee. Deets went on to say that copies of the rules may be had from "Doc" Johnson. In response to student appeal, parking is now allowed in the field adjacent to the new tennis courts, but parking will be at the driver's own risk during archery classes. This is fie first year during which the Traffic Committee has been run by the students, with a student chairman. Paul Hendrix heads the. committee, which deals with those who ignore parking tickets and with ' the overall traffic situation. Traffic rules are being revised by this committee in an attempt to formulate a realistic and efficient method of coping with the serious traffic problem on campus. Deets stated that the policy of the committee would be to evaluate each problem-, carefully, and to make changes'- that will ease the situation and provide for better control -of parking, etc. Deets added that several students have not paid fines which they have incurred, and that these students must clear up such fines before exam time. It is the policy of the university not to allow students to take exams when they have outstanding debts to the school or any of its departments unless proper arrangements have been made.
