Honors students host i Russian xxx
candidates for program
By Kent Meckley
Editor-in-Chief
This past weekend, the Honors
program at Stetson played host to
almost seventy-five potential honors students from highschopls
around the country. The effort was
part of theannual honors and scholarship weekend in which talented,
rising freshmen are invited to interview for scholarships. The weekend also gives the potential Stetson
students a chance to have a closer
look at Stetsons' honors program.
The weekend was organized
by Dr. Donald Musser. Director of
the Honors Program, and Linda
Glover, Dean of Admissions.
Musser, along with President Lee,
spoke at a reception Friday evening
for the students and their parents.
Lee commented on the qualities of
Stetson while Musser talked about
past honors graduates and the jobs
and positions. they have now
achieved.
While always an important
event, the weekend has taken on
new importance as Stetson strives
to place more emphasis on ijs honors program. With the founding of
the honors dorm in thebeginning of
the 1991-1992 school year and the
arrival of Dr. Musser at the helm of
the program, Stetson acknowledged
the importance of the program in
producing some of itsbrightest students.
The main focus of the weekend, aside from the scholarship interviews, dealt with pairing up the
potential students with current honors students. The brief time allowed
the potential students to have a
chance-to experience the honors
program first-hand.

Try Europe for a semeste
By Becky Bridges
Assistant Editor-in-Chief
Do you ever get tired of the
same, old scenery day after day?
Have you ever wondered what it
would be like to just leave Stetson
behind for awhile and experience a
place that is totally new for you?
Many Stetson students have probably wished for a change in their
academic pace and for a change of
scenery at least once in their time
here at Stetson. What many students don't realize is that the university itself offers programs which
allow students to experience a different culture while continuing vigorous studies that can be applied
towards their Stetson degrees.
Stetson University offers study
abroad programs in Nottingham
(England), Dijon (France), Moscow (Russia), Freiburg (Germany),
and Madrid (Spain). These programs are official university programs, and thus grades earned in
courses at those study centers carry
over to the students' transcripts after studying there. Students can
even work on their major degree
requirements with the approval of
their respective departments.
What's more, studying abroad does
not cost any more than studying for
the same length of time here at
Stetson. Infact,dependingonwhere
you choose to study abroad, it may
even cost less to go to school abroad
than it does here. Stetson students
Bertice Berry, both a sociologist with a Ph.D. and a comedian
performed last Friday in Nitelights. Berry was part of the
activities for Women's Week and also the activities for the
prospective honors students who were on campus this weekend.
