J3TETS0N WEEKLY NEWS LETTER.
DeLand, Fla., Volume 3, Number 4, July 11, 1940
CANDIDATES—
So far there is only one announced candidate for the honor
of the U. S. presidency, (we won't
write his name because v/e are a
non-partisan sheet), but there
are a total of 46 candidates for
the honor of receiving degrees or
certificates from Stetson University this summer. According to
statistics released early this
week by Registrar Olga Bowen, 28
students hope to obtain diplomas
at the time of the first Commencement on August 7, while 18 others
will follow on August 23. Nine
of the number are burning the midnight oil in a race to complete
master's theses before those two
dates, and. 6 of the graduating
class will be content this summer
with normal certificates. The
remaining group includes 4 candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Laws, 2 for the Bachelor
of Music, 9 for the Bachelor, of
Science, and 15 are v/orking for
the more popular Bachelor of Arts.
The 1940 summer graduating
class is a good deal larger than
that of last year, Miss Bowen said*
SUMMERBTTES—
Solos—Not musical, but aerial.
Eight of the C. P. T. P. students
have already gone into the air
on their own at the last count,
and there a.re probably more since
then, because the sky is full of
them. But L. A. Schmarje, manager of the airport, says that
bad weather has been interfering
with flying schedules. Only one
of the embryo pilots has dropped
out. Not dropped out of his
plane but out of the course.
For an exciting serial drama
based on real life experiences at
the training school, see page 2
for the first installment. This
column is also continued on page 2.
