The following is a review of what several of the 14 Greenfeather-related committees have planned. Juanita Molina, co-chairperson of the Follies, said she believes the annual talent show will be a success. "I think the quality of entertainment is good," Molina commented. "The people we picked are talented and there will be something for everyone!" She she added the 14-act show, scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 23, at 7 p.m. in Elizabeth Hall, will feature a diversity of performances. "We were very pleased with all that tried-out," Molina said. "I never knew there was so much talent at Stetson." Auditions were a free and easy going affair. "We wanted everyone relaxed and as comfortable as possible. If some weren't ready, we told them they could come back and try it again. It was very informal." Pat Collins and Cindy Rourk will emcee a show that will be tightly run because of the one and a half hour time limit, Molina said. Included in the program will be two original piano compositions, dances, miscellanious acts and song renditions ranging from "Harry" by Harry Chapin to Kermit the Frog's "The Rainbow Connection." "Because of the off-campus publicity this year, we hope to get a lot of townies," Molina commented. "We are confident of everyone's support." The Follies' individual goal has been set at $350. Admission is $1. Molina added that the Follies Committee still -needs a backstage crew. Interested students can contact Molina at ext. 411; Joel Brown, ext. 451; or Sandy Babey, ext. 414.

The entry fee is $3, good for a free T-shirt and a chance at one of three trophies. Refreshments will also be served. Rob Lane, co-chairperson of the Fun Run, commented, "We're looking forward to Continued on Page 4 Winter Term to offer unique theme courses By ELAYNE SHIELDS Features Editor Now that the fall semester is half over, students are beginning to seriously consider their Winter Term schedules. The Winter Term Committee and its director, Dr. Gary Maris, have set up theme courses which they believe will enable the student to"crawl out of the major space," and explore new interests. These four hour courses will involve study in more specific subjects, while also attempting to be of interest to the general populace, Maris said. The five courses offered will be in general subject areas including social science, natural science, humanities, music and business. In addition, a special film course will be offered by Dr. C. Carter Colwell. Maris commented that each theme course will have at least one visiting scholar. The WT committee decided that instead of hiring speakers, they would instead entice scholars who will be on campus for at least two days, along with what Maris called "various performers." The social science theme course, "Surviving the Future," taught by Dr. Dan Hale, will involve a study of - possible alternatives for coping with changes that are expected to occur before the year 2000. Hale said while a regular semester provides time for the student to learn traditional material, this course will enable those interested "to go to chapters that aren't necessarily a part of the book. This course is oriented towards the next 20 years, which will see tremendously rapid changes in other fields." He plans to stress the need for social to examine the effect that these changes will have on other areas in life. In the natural sciences division, Dr. Derek Barkalow will teach "Light and Life." The course is designed to explore topics including photomedicine, environmental photobiology Continued on Page 4 Student Assembly opens 'rebuilding year' going full steam By STEVE NEILL Staff Writer The Student Assembly began its 1980-81 session Monday night, Oct. 13 and immediately began working on what has been touted to be a rebuilding year for the organization.
