Two college presidents, at Rollins and Florida Southern, have PRESIDENTIAL POSITIONS Here's how the four chief executives stand on their schools' potential membership in a non- subsidized football league. Edmunds of Stetson: In favor of football. Kadel of Presbyterian: Interested. McKean of Rollins: Likes soccer. Thrift of Southern: Undecided, willing- to listen. The general feeling seems to be that if students want it badly enough, fqotbjall can be had. listened to the proposal they haven't said no but they'd like to hear more. Florida Presbyterian is interested, but won't have students until 1960.
