C. Beaty, presiding. Opening re- marke of the evening were made by Dean Beaty, who introduced the principal speaker, Mr. John McCarty. McCarty, a former student body president, reminded his listeners of the long tradition of student government at Florida. He stress- ed the importance of student gov- ernment in providing training for the acceptance of the obligations and responsibilities of good gov- ernment. Speakifig of his experience in campus politics, McCarty con- fessed his inability to show par- tisanship because of the com- plete change of political align- ments since his day. After re- iterating the importance of stu- dent government, McCarty clos- ed with a plea to students to Know tneir responsiDlUties to good government. The keynote speech for the Gator party was delivered by Frank Duckworth who also in- troduced the top five Gator can- didates. Jack Hayward intro- duced the Dixie nominees and de- livered the principal speech for his party, Music for the occasion was fur- nished by Claude Murphree, Uni- versity organist. "In 1945 we did not know how many returning GI's we would have to accommodate at. the University of Florida.

Oelkers' opinion is that coeduca- tion would come gradually, first in the upper division colleges and ultimately in the entire Univer- sity, as fast as facilities could )je built for the huge increase in the student body this would entail.

Offered Here Next Semester An aeronautical engineering de- partment will be offered in the engineering college next fall, ac- cording to a recent announcement by President John J. Tigert. In announcing the new depart- ment, Dr. Tigert said that al- though some courses in aeronau- tical engineering had been offered in the mechanical engineering de- partment in the past, this would for the first time make available to students a degree in the field of aeronautics. R. A. Thompson, associate 'professor of mechanical engi- neering, will act as head of the new department. Courses rang- ing from aerodynamics and air- plane design to instruction in aircraft instruments will be of- fered in the new curriculum. Although complete staff ap- pointments will not be named in the new department for several months, current staff members include Ford L. Prescctt and Sam P. Goethe, both veteran staff members. Dean Joseph Weil of the college of engineering, commenting on the new course, said need for the addition of the department was emphasized in the growing de- mand for qualified engineers in the field of aviation. To supplement instruction, the new department will offer laboratory equipment including a wind tunnel with a Velocity of 16'0 miles 'per hour, an in- strument laboratory with a wide variety of aircraft instru- ,ments, a P-51 Mustang fight- er plane, which will be used only for study of airplane structure and not for flight, and other valuable equipment. The University has also con- tracted the Army Surplus Prop- erties Administration for a F6F Hellcat fighter plane and a .B-24 Liberator bomber which will be used in design and structure Continued on Page Three Editorially Speaking: Support Amendments To Be Voted On In Ballot Today Tomorrow the student body goes to the polls to vote on two amendments, both of which are of vital importance to the student body. The first of these is the amendment to put the stu- dent government and elective, system back on the plan of the regular Constitution which prevailed before the war. It takes a total vote cast of 25 per cent of the student body with two-thirds of votes concurring to make the old Con- stitution effective. As the return to the regular constitution is generally favored, it should pass, provided that 25 per cent of the student body turns out to vote. So get out and vote. The second amendment is of a more controver- sial nature and deals with whether the executive po- sitions of publications, editors and business managers, should be appointive rather than elective. The Alligator from the first took a non-partisan view that these positions should be appointive rather than elec- tive. This opinion ha's been supported by all who have been connected with student publications on the- grounds that technical qualifications and experience that are nec- essary for efficiency in the editing of publications should not be made- dependent on political popularity. The Alligator advanced 'this proposal before it was picked up by the politicians and made a political football. It was supported on the sincere belief that it would take publications out of the realm of politics and put it on a basis of editorial merit. The Alligator still sticks to its guns. Got out and vote-this amendment is important.

Four FacuIly Members Join Campus Staff Eanett Elected Head of World Affairs Group The newly reactivated Interna- tional Relations Club, under joint sponsorship of Professors William G. Carleton and Manning Dauer, held its elections for the remain- der of the current semester at a business session Tuesday night. Chosen as president was Don .Eanett, law student. Other offi- cers are Robert Starrat, vice 'president, and James L. Mack, secretary-treasurer.

Union Announces Coming Events A new attraction at the Florida Union will be a regular showing of moving pictures, D: R. "Billy" Matthews announced yesterday. These cinema features will be "old timers" for the most part, but are expected to run the gamut of the best films in past years. The premier showing is sched- uled for Friday, April 5, with two presentations set at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. At least two more shows will be offered during the present se- mester. None of these pictures will carry an admission charge, and, if attendance is sufficient, they are expected to become, as in past eyars, a regular feature of the Union. Wives Meet Another feature of the Florida Union announced by Mrs. T. Al- len is a regular meeting of veter- ans' wives, to be conducted in the form of bridge games and teas. In the near future Mrs. Allen ex- pects to have instructors for those who want to learn to play bridge. The meetings are part of a move to provide profitable re- laxation for the wives of veterans on the campus, and all the ladies are invited to join in these activi- ties. Murray, announcing the drive, briefly sketched the programs of the state and Alachua County, declaring that the funds donated by the students will represent the generosity of the student body in helping a worthy cause. "The money we give," Mur- ray said, "will help increase the number of detection clinics where people can go to find out whether they are free of cancer's signals and, if not, be directed to see a doctor for 'proper diagnosis." Sixty per cent of the money raised in Florida will be retained within the state for programs of service and preventive education, he said, and 40 per cent will be spent on the nation-wide program of research and for national edu- cation, service and administration. Publicity for the Alachua Coun- ty find raising .campaign is being planned and written by Journal- ism 302, an advanced department of journalism class in news writ- ing and editing. Professor W. L. Lowry, laboratory coordinator for the Florida Alligator, is chairman of publicity for the county. Plans for the publicity cam- paign have been formulated to include stories in each newspaper in the county, advertising in these papers, and store window dis- plays. stitutional government April 4, the date set for campus- wide balloting.

We have several alternatives, including sitting on our seats and engaging in bull sessions. And then there's the alternative of tak- ing a good air-tight case to the Florida legislature next spring and making darned sure that it isn't put off until the next session. AltI i.. I, we've managed to put on-r hands on enough money to rc ady the place for the 5,000 stu- dents who will be admitted to the 1!4l6-47 regular session, we still lir-k enough funds to build a per- r oan-ent establishment to accommo- (da'te a large coeducational uni- versity. One point that the students in general don't know is that this university has risen by its own bootstraps. The amount of rmol ) that the state government bas spent on it wouldn't build a king-size frat house. Now, ivhen we really need a good school as we've never needed (mne before, we've got a big task before us. The 1947 Legislature will con- vetne and be faced with a number of issues demanding solution, and in the midst of all its activity the dreams and plans which seem of greatest importance to us may be relegated Lo the chaplain's filc with a big TS slip appended, if I may lapse into army lingo for a phrase or two. Eut we've got to make the peo- ple of the state see our point that the University of Florida isn't what it could be and ought to be.

Then we ought to work on a few millions to put a first rate educa- tional institution on this hallowed soil and a substantial increase in the annual budget to get a first rate faculty to match.

Bill Walker. March 27, 194-1 Mr. John Walker, Editor Florida Alligator. Dear Johnnie: It is happily my conviction that you are to be .genuinely congrat- ulated on the stands you have recently taken on two of the more momentous campus questions of the day, those of partisan politics and publications. For the allegedly traditional "nein politik" periodical, the Alli- gator, during the past month un- til our last issue, was enjoying a rather more than evident "trend" toward the radical. Enough vile mud is being slung, so many per- sonalities are being attacked in such a disgustedly disgraceful --'-OpIo'll 11- in* m an ne r, -that it smacks just too darn much of the tactics resorted to by one of Dame Liberty's few orthodox mis- carriages, the pride and joy of Mississippi. Your move to clean -up some of the columns, or not print them as such is truly com- menda.ble. We wonder if those aspiring Hearts will accept a word to the wise as sufficient. As for amending the constitu- tion to provide for appointed Ed's and publishers, I agree with you without qualification. Should such an act inhibit our treasured free- dom of the press, we would be prone, quite naturally, to take a different stand. 'On the other hand, hew many of 'us would con- descend to have our appendix re- moved by a sandhog? You're right with it, Johnnie. Sincerely, Lois Scott Weiss.

Tills is not a regular off-yeiar election that has im- portance only in the fanfare and hullabaloo of ordinary years. It y ill qualify citizens to vote for a senator to fill Florida's present vacancy in the upper house at a time when the Senatte is more and more assuming leadership in affairs of state that have lapsed in other years. It should be incumbent on every Florida student who is of age to register his views on the momentous affairs of the present by becoming qualified to vote in the election on May 7. Transportation has been announced from the Florida Union today from 2 to 4 p. m., which should fa- cilitate matters for many a weary man and woman. So let's get out and register, and then let's vote, A Senate seat is a matter of vast importance to all of us at present. It can swing world affairs into one channel or another. And once, too often the channels of our nation- al history have been filled with blood.

Jack Doherty The Campus Today Student politics on this campus are often taken too seriously by a few men. However, the usual trouble is that the majority take them entirely too lightly. It is very easy to regard campus noli- tics as something pretty foolish The comparative handful of people who turned out for the non-par- tisan rally last Monday night makes that fact only too evident. One explanation for this state of affairs may lie in the fact that too few men stop to consider what stu- dent government is all about. Few of us realize that many of the elective offices are important enough to warrant salaries or ex- pense accounts. Nor do many con- sider that the top offices are sometimes stepping stones to state politics. They have been before and probably will be in the future.

Since it is probable that a high percentage of present resi- dents, particularly the veterans now enrolled, will continue school in the Summer Session, the amount of space available to in- coming students may be small. Prospective applicants should call at or write to the Director of Residence, 92-94 Thomas Hall, for application forms and information. Carleton Article To Be Published William G.

Professor Bourke was in charge of developing the "Florida Spray Gun" which applies sulfuric acid to the slashes in pine trees and stimulates the tree to produce more resin. The experiment station started work on the gun when the South- ern Forest Experiment Station in Lake City discovered that sulfu- ric acid stimulated pine trees and desired a spray gun to, apply it. .The gun was perfected and manufactured during 1945. The State. Board of Control has given. a five year contract to. the Stine Machine and Supply. Company, Orlando and Sanford, to manufac- ture them.

Part of the Red Cross nutrition service is to help housewives plan and prepare balance meals. Flavet Village is the first in the county to enjoy this service. This work is planned around kitchen parties so that the, wives can have fun while learn- ing. Five wives from Flavet Village are chosen each werek to learn and pass on the latest recipes of the month. Each of the five girls will pass on what they have learned to five neighbors, and they in turn vea, give the recipes to their friends. In this way, the recipes can be handed to any number of housewives who wish to keep up with better food nutrition. This plan os based on the theory that housewives do not have Lime to look for the latest in culinary arts, so the Red Cross takes over the job and passes the recipes on to the wives at kitchen parties. The unit of three lessons begIn on February 23. This week's theme and discussion was on "Sav- ing Fats." Next month the dis- cussion will turn to "Meat is Scarce and Expensive." "No home is complete with- out the proper food, and know- ledge of preparing it," said Mrs. Webb. "The purpose of the Red Cross is to help cure the nation's ills, and the nutrition is one of the ills.

Present laws limit expenditures to $200, and salaries to $1,100. This ruling tooK effect at a time that the University had, 3,000 students as a fairly consistent maximum. However, Stanley does not con- sider this amount sufficient to ful- fill the needs of the department in September, due to the expected enrollinent 'of 4,800 students, The present. law [ ''.

This I was set at nine dollars for inter- collegiate athletics and one dol- lar for intramurals. With three leagues, the frater- nity, the independent, and the dor- mitory, scheduled to enter the various contests in the fall term, Stanley ha suggested to the stu- dent senate officers an amend- ment which would combine the two fees into one and state "at least one dollar shall be applied towards intramurals."

In addition, eggs were served the next day over the counter, another recommendation of the committee. . Miss Lorina Smith, manager ol the soda shop, said that the inly way she could judge the wants of her student customers was by their direct, request, and that she was very happy to carry out their sug- gestions to as great an extent as lay within her authority. Abked by a reporter her method of fixing the counter price of such items as the newly-instituted eggs, Miss Smith said, "We try to set a price that won't have to be changed from time to time because of a shifting market.

And if the price of eggs were to go up to ninety cents again our price wouldn't change."
