GLEE CLUB CONCERT Perform in Chapel Next Friday Good Program Assured. On next Friday night, March 13, the Glee Club will give. its first performance in Columbia this season. The performance will begin at 8.30 in the Univer sity chapel. The club has recently returned from a ' very successful trip on which they visited Laurens, Greenwood and Greenville. Mr A. J. Garing, who made a tour of the world with Sousa's Band, and who for the past seven seasons has played with them, will play a eupho nuim and a trombone solo. He made a big hit with those who heard him last year. The hand-dut will consist of the latest songs, sung by quar tettes and soloists. Hoyt Cook will perform on the violin. One of the features of the entertain ment is the Mock German. The female characters in this act are played by Dick Reeves as Miss Simpleton, and Foster Marshall as Miss Verycute. This act gen erally brings down the house. The University orchestra will be in great form for the concert. We want a big crowd out to this concert. Talk it up among your friends. The Glee Club de serves our support as much as any other organization. The ad mission for students, will be 25 cents, for outsiders. 50 cents. A Correction Editor of Gamecock: Will you please give me space for a cor rection? In the issue of TIe Gamecock reporting the talk I made in Flinn Hall an Law as a profession, the fol owing ref erence was made: "In Speaking of the field of law the speaker stated that the law profession is not over-crowded In fact there is a lack of earnest, efficient law yers." What was said is as fol lows: "Every profession is crowded to one who expects an easy time. The opportunities for intellect and thorough training to come to the front are as great now as in the past." And then later on, "Honesty and moral ity are of prime importance." It was not my intention to give the impression that there is a lack of honest lawyers, for the standard is high in the pro fession. I shall thank you for aid in the correction of what might well have seemed to many an incorrect assertion. The files of The Gamecock constitute a record, and I wish to keep the record straight. F. Win. Cappleman Lukce Hill was confined to the infirmary a short while the other day. Doug"ass Featherston is out after a short illness. MOOT COURT CONVENES Interesting Criminal Case Tried by Young Lawyers. The regular weekly meeting of the Moot Court was held in the law room on Wednesday night. This meeting was the first at which a case has been tried for some time. Considerable inter est was aroused, but it is urged now that the proceedings are be ing regularly conducted again and cases tried; that a larger number of men attend I nd there by benefit themselves and help the association continue its good work. A departure was taken at the last meeting from the usual cus tom of trying civil cases, and this time a criminal case was tried before a jury, each side offering testimony in evidence. Anoth r new feature was the appearance of a junior on each side as coun sel. The juniors performed their duties well. The case tried was that of the State vs. Frank Herman, charged with assault. Two witnesses were introduced by the State, a ad three by the defence. The case soon resolved itself into a qustion of facts, very little law being involved. The court was presided over by Chief Justice Rucker; while Associate Justice Reynolds delivered an able ch:rge to the jury. These gen tlemen retired, and after some deliberation reported that they were unable to agree, and the court ordered a mistrial. The prosecuting attorneys were Messrs. McLeod and Bellinger, and the defendant was repre ,,ented by Messrs. Brockington and Shuler. Law Building Refused The item for a $40,000 law building for the University of South Carolina met its death on Tuesday in the Committee or Free Conference between the two branches of the General As sembly. Its death Tuesday ended a somewhat adventurous career, for the item was recom mended fovorab,y by the House committee on Ways and Means, and passed through the House successfully scn.e weeks ago. The Senate stricken with a sud den passion for econemy and re membering its bread-hungry constituents wvhose vote its members will have win when summer comes, killed the item. Hope was revived when the House failed to concur in tIse Senate amendment, omitting the item. It was then referred tc the committee on Free Confer. ence,which action proved fatal t> it.
