COFFEE TALKS 'Spi&e' Jones leading discussion-on Parapsychology (ESP) Monday, November 16 9 P.M., Student Lounge Last Minute Gift Sets Local Sights On Quarter Million "Well, young lady, did you get a story tonight?" asked Dr. J. Ollie Edmunds of the Reporter editor after last Thursday night's victory dinner, as she sneaked a bit closer to the blackboard to ook at the magic figure chalked on it. The figure was $250,000 and it was quite a story. The minimum challenge goal for the DeLand campaign was $125,000. It had been generously surpassed by reports earlier in the week, and the final reports at the Victory Dinner brought the total to $178,346. After introduction of campaign workers Earl Brown and the community's observations by Chamber of Commerce president Ralph Sef- ton, Dr. Edmunds took the microphone to voic'e Stetson's appreciation of DeLand's generous response to the campaign. Before he could begin, Glen W. Martin said, "May I please have that mike?" and presented $25,- 000 worth of securities from an anonymous DeLand donor, matching Dr. Edmunds' gift which is so far the largest single gift in the DeLand campaign. Frantic pencil- scratching revealed the sum then received to be $203,346, and the President estimated that additional commitments and pledges would Bend the total to a quarter of a million dollars within the next few. weeks. This will double the original minimum goal for the area, and represents one-fifth of the goal for this year's campaign.

LAMBDA CHI PUTS BOOKS FIRST Last Monday a new program was put into effect by Lambda Chi Alpha designed to raise scholarship in the fraternity to its former level. With the advent of the D-list cards, no Lambda Chi who failed any subject, or who was on the D-list more than twice, will be allowed to participate in any intramural sports. It is felt that the physical exertion and mental stress of these athletics have been a deterrent to the studies of some. No pledges who are in the above category will be allowed to participate in or attend the sports, and are required to be in study hall in the library for four nights out of every week.. Active brothers, who were on the D-list are asked; to put themselves in the same position, but are at their own discretion except that they will not be allowed to play in the games. This includes football, horseshoes, and table tennis, ..and will carry over into basketball arid other winter sports until all grades are brought up. Oscar Juarez, the coach of the football team, is quoted as saying, "I am wholeheartedly in favor of this program."
