Plans now call for the appearance of The Brothers Four, Peter, Paul and Mary, the Huntsmen and the Folksters, all well known folk sing ing groups. Also roaming the "World's Most Famous Beach" and through Day tona Beach's three coffee houses will be Rev. Malcolm Boyd, Episcopal Chaplain to Wayne University, De troit, who has become nationally known as the "espresso priest," be cause of his liking to meet and talk with college students. Ed Beck Also, Ed Beck, former All Arierica basketball player at the University of Kentucky, will head a group of athletes who will come April 9-12 to be with the students on the beach and in the coffee houses. With Beck will be Bob Pettit, St. Louis Hawks professional basketball player, and at least 10 outstanding football players: Buddy Dial, Pittsburgh Steelers; L. G.

Jerome HTines, Metropolitan Opera bass vocalist, also has been invited. Other talent is being lined up, according to Stan Nass, Daytona Beach City Commissioner, who is in charge of the Festival. Folk Festival In contrast to last year's hectic preparations, the Folk Festival is being planned carefully to avoid schedule conflicts, Nass said. There's a minimum of $6,000 in the city budget this year to underwrite pay ing the entertainers. Other organiza tions are providing money and talent, too. "We expect a good influx of stu dlents here through most of March, with the greatest influx April 5 to 15.

Boyd, former student chap lain at the University of Colorado, has become known to college stu dents throughout the United States. Life Magazine recently rated him one of the 100 most outstanding young men in the country. Boyd and Woodie King, Jr., a young De troit Negro actor, will stage Boyd's prize-winning one-act play, "Study in Color," in the various coffee houses. Concerts Nass said consideration is being given to using City Island Ball Park as a site for the big folk concerts, charging $1 each for admission. Last year's two concerts, by Pete Fountain and by Dave Brubeck, were in Peabody Auditorium and at higher prices. Folk singing is this year's fad in the college set, replacing the twist. Last Year Last year some 35,000 students conducted what seemed to be one big twist session, mostly along "The World's Most Famous Beach." This year, in addition to the pro fessional talent, Nass said collegians will be encouraged to bring their owvn guitars, banjos and other in struments and stage "hootenannies" --the hep term for folk singing shows - at the Bandshell.

Dr. Curry's speech on "American Foreign Policy as Seen From Down Under" was the fourth in the series, called "Crisis in American Foreign Policy." Three crisis areas were mentioned in which Australia had a vital in terest. Cuba The first of these was Cuba. The "uban crisis made Australia realize that it had very little to do with .he resultion of international crises, as did the other nations. Australia's Prime Minister Men ties stood solidly behind the United States on the Cuba situation. There was no opposition in this matter, Dr. Curry pointed out. "They were bitter about Castro's turning Cuba into a dictatorship. They expressed disappointment that the United States had not been in terested in Cuba at the time of - Batista," meaning that America did not try to establish a more benign government on the island. The summation is that "we came out well in the Cuban crisis." Indonesia The second area was Indonesia. "Australians believed t h a t the United States succumbed to military blackmail" in Indonesia, Dr. Curry ore said. a Australia has a 500-mile border on Indonesia, which Dr. Curry a pointed out, is supported with Rus sian arms and relies in police power u', to keep the peace. This naturally ich worries Australia. k." Sino-Indlan to The third area mentioned was the set Sino-Indian conflict.

Touching on the subject of the United Nations, Dr. Curry said that "Australia still believes that the United Nations can be a successful instrumentality in world affairs. "Both the Menzies government and the Labor party support the U. N. They believe it can dampen ex plosive areas in the works and aid underdeveloped countries on Austra lia's doorstep so they will not have to look elsewhere for food." United States There is no trouble between the United States and Australia, Dr. Curry said, but "the opposition still raises the question of the presence of U-2 aircraft and the communica tions base in western Australia. This base was the target of the recently caught Russian spy. Australia has a need of closeness with the United States and defense arrangements. Dr. Curry said that Australia will be hurt by the Common Market but hopes to pick up additional trade with the Asian countries and the United States. Termed "one of our most peri patetic professors" in an introduc tion, Dr. Curry recently returned from teaching two semesters at the University of Adelaide. He has also taught at Cambridge and Oxford in England.

Platt issued the followving statement: "The results of Tuesday's refer endum show w~hat many of us have contended for months: A substantial majority of the Student Body is dis satisfied wvith the present seating arrangements at Carolina Stadium." "Inasmuch as the agreement made with the Athletic Department was to try the p)resent seating plan for a one-year trial period, it would be appropriate to move the Student Body section back to the West Stands this fall." "Having confidence in the good faith of both the Athletic Depart ment and the Student Senate, by whom the agreement was consum mated, the Student Body can look forward to sitting on the home side again this fall."
