Spell check
Dear Editor:
Another plus for Florida State University! The Florida State Times is really
interesting, and I read each article with gusto.
The Marine Lab in the Gulf of Mexico sounds terribly exciting and certainly
a challenge. The article by Ron Matus (Vol..2, Iss.1), "Scientists
Go to School at Sea," was an eye opener. Vibrations began to jog my
memory in the study of Biology and Physical Science at FSCW and I remembered
those segmented bodies of the COPEPODS. Surely the spelling is the same-not
COPAPODS.
How I would have loved this opportunity that is available to students in
the study of oceanography.

Dear Editor:
Thank you very much for the recent article "What Can America Learn
from Florida about Tourism?," published in the June/July 1996 issue
of the Florida State Times. The article was very well done and I have had
many calls from our alumni, who have enjoyed reading it. We appreciate the
coverage for the department of hospitality administration and College of
Business.

History lesson
Dear Editor:
I am making an effort to restore FSU's early football history which seems
to have been forgotten. Florida State College had its first season in 1902
- not 1947 as it is generally accepted. We played Florida Agricultural College
(now UF) twice that season, splitting the two games. In 1903 Florida State
beat Florida Agricultural College by a score of 12-0. In 1904 Florida State
went on to win the Times-Union Cup and the first state championship. That
would also end the early era of Florida State football as it then became
Florida College For Women. Please send this on to anyone who would be
interested.
I can't believe these teams haven't received ANY recognition. I do not
understand
how the Florida State Athletic Department would overlook our early history.
Maybe this is some kind of conspiracy by the Gators to erase our proud heritage!
It seems ridiculous to me not to include these three early seasons. They
should also be considered when adding up our all-time series records (versus
UF in particular). Any further help you or anyone else can give me in restoring
history would be greatly appreciated. Maybe then in 2002 we can celebrate
our 100th anniversary (nonconsecutive) of Florida State football rather
than a measly 50th anniversary this year!

FSCW memories
Dear Editor:
Recently the Lake County Alumni Association honored the Florida State College
for Women/Florida State University alumni from the '30s and '40s with a
delightful luncheon in Mt. Dora. We all enjoyed sharing our college memories
and learning about all the changes going on at FSU.
I hope some of the other alumni associations will think about having some
way of bringing these alumni from the '30s and '40s together throughout
the state to learn more about FSU and its new programs and progress.
My thanks to Kristen Sears and all the Lake County Alumni who thought about
us. It's nice to be remembered.

Mag Lab receives grant
Florida State University and the University of Florida have received a $600,000
grant to design, build, test and use a high-field, resistive magnet system
at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee.
The grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation of Los Angeles will be split equally
between the two universities and matched by more than $1.5 million from
the mag lab, FSU and UF.
The magnet system, developed by a scientific team led by Alan G. Marshall
of FSU and Neil Sullivan of UF, will feature a 25-tesla, high-resolution,
resistive magnet equipped with instruments for nuclear magnetic resonance,
electron magnetic resonance and ion cyclotron resonance.
