He Congressman's visit will culminate with a lunch in the Stetson Room. Hie meal is open at |2.C0 per person for a limited number of Stetson students. Frey, who represents Brevard, Indian liver, and Osceola Counties, is currently the chairman of the Republican Task Force on drug abuse, which is actively searching for viable solutions to the Nation's drug problems. He also has recently organized and founded RETRO, Inc., a consortium of government, education, and industry participants which retrains unemployed aerospace engineers and technicians for specific jobs in environmental quality control. Originally from New Jersey, Frey graduated from Colgate ( University cum laude. As a Navy veteran of three years, he was commissioned to a lieutenant and still serves as a reserve" commander in the Navy. After graduating from the University of Michigan Law School with honors and feeing elected to the Order of the Coif in 1961, he began Ms career in Florida. Starting Ms life in Florida, Lou Frey served as county solicitor for one year, worked as general counsel for the Florida State Turnpike Authority in 1968, and |P%r me aitisoN n §§1 Florida '§ oldest cotteg* Vol. 84 Friday, October 8, 1971 «-newspaper No. 4 bijA president aims for closer knit community His pet project is to close the gap between students and faculty members'so that they may work closer together. Basketball and other sports really interest him. He cow serves as the Head Resident of Cordis Hall. This diversified personality is Stetson's Student Government Association President, Mr. Jim Davis. Davis ran in last year's election as a write-in for the primary and came, out on top in the ran-offs. He decided to ran for the office of president since the candidate he supported had to drop out of the race due to grades. Jim also felt that the other candidates running were not well qualified for the office. Since Davis took office in the latter part of last year, he has expressed Ms opinions on many matters which he felt could be improved. The SGA president would like to see professors and students working closer together. Ironing out specific academic problems would help the students to produce better work and, consequently, higher marks. As the situation now stands, many tea-1-— -i x , «~ names of most of their students. Jim approves of Dr. John Hague's idea of holding a type of "rap-in" between professors and students. These meetings are held at the Cellar Door one or two times a week. The info&nal atmosphere would ease tensions on bom sides so that academic problems could be iiscussed. Or the two parties could have a personal discussion on whatever interests them. Jim plans to bring up the question of last year's teacher dis0iissal at the net! university council meeting. There seems to be some discrepancy concerning the method in which this dismissal was. handled. Dean Chauvin received a statement last year from the Board of Trustees which made it evident that some faculty members would have- to be cut from the payroll. The' dean decided who should be cut without consulting anyone else of authority. The investigation into this matter was prompted by a great' deal of concern expressed by students concerning Dr. Robert Loftin's dismissal. Following this line of thought, Davis does not agree with the way teachers are hired and dismissed. Most of Stetson's faculty is of one type of background - White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. This limits the creativity in classes spurned from a diversity of professors. Also, the qualifications for teachers expressly mentions a strong Christian background without giving due consideration to academic requirements. Jim would like to see the part of Stetson's Charter concerning professor' qualifications revised. He hopes to make this one of SGA's projects for the year. The Student Government's money is often used for irrelevant and unimportant things. Davis feels that this money should be spent in a more organized manner on better speakers and artists for the enlightenment and enjoyment ol''all students. Jim mentioned that one hundred more refrigerators' have been ordered for student use. More information on this will be available later. In conclusion, Davis said that his job as SGA president is not an enjoyable or easy one tat one that requires the hard work that he plans. ;o put into it. was a law partner in the law firm of Mateer, Frey,- Young '& Harbert until 1971.
