$25, OC King Sued For Libel Defamation Is Claimed John Bowden Brings $25,000 Suit Against Gamecock Editor In Moot Oourt Seeking to recover damages of $25,000 for an alleged libel printed last week in the columns of The Gamecock, John A. Bowden, University law student, will confront W. B. King, editor of the publication, in a moot court held in the Abncy Memorial library in the law building tonight at 7:30. The trial will be the second of the series to be held this year by the law federation. The allegation of Bowden states that a certain item in the column, Musclin* In, referred to him and seriously injured his reputation and defamed his character for sobriaty and virtue. King has entered a general denial. King, in a statement to the press several days ago, said, "I realize that 1 am perfectly innocent of this offence and feel that I will be able to clear myself without difficulty. I cxpcct that justice will be triumphed and my paper will be completely vindicated." On learning of the reply of King, Bowden, it is understood, stated that it was he that needed vindication from the gross attack on his character. "I have a great personal interest in this matter," he said, "but I feel that it is primarily important that the editor learn that his paper cannot become an organ for the defamation of character." The defendant will be represented by John A. May, Briscoe Black, and Charles Spencer. Representatives of the plaintiff will be Luke Williamson, Frank Taylor, and Louis Weinburg. The trial is being conducted by the law federation and is the second of its kind so far this year. The practice of holding moot courts was discontinued several years ago, but was revived this year by the recently organized law federation. Several weeks ago John A. May and Adrian Spears were tried in the first moot court of the year for the "murder" of Luke Williamson, but the trial resulted in a hung jury and no verdict was reached. In the past it has been the custom to limit the moot courts primarily to criminal actions but this year it is hoped to offer a wide variety of cases. Troy Stokes is president of the law federation. u. m. a. In Scotland, students at the University of Edinburg are fined each time they cut a class. Fines collected arc put into a fund at the end of the year to buy the president a Christmas present. Last Christmas the president received a cigar. THE R. L. BRYAN CO.

Another University singer invaded the realm of the ether waves when John Gregg McMaster, president of the sophomore class, was featured in a 15 minute program of songs over WIS Tuesday night. It was McMaster's first appearance before the microphone. Favorable , comments were heard wherever there were people listening. The program, lasting from 9:00 until 1 9:15, consisted entirely of recent popular hits. Wilbur Zciglcr, who is 1 now assistant in the Spanish department, was the accompanist. McMaster and Zeigler arc both members of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. U. 8. O. Dixie G-irls Preferred By Carolina Professor Be wary of expressing your prefer- ' cnce for girls, either blonde or brunette, might well be the advice given by one university professor who has a case in point. Once, during a few days stay at the University of Illinois where he was contemplating accepting a position with a northern college, he was interviewed by a reporter for the school paper. "Do you prefer Northern or Southern girls?" was the question asked him toward the close of the interview. After being assured his opinion would not be printed the professor admitted he preferred the charm of the Dixie belle. He spoke eloquently of their charm, their beauty, their captivating and romantic temperament. He spoke freely?but confidentially. Then next .morning, staring him in the face were the headlines across the school paper: "Southern Professor Expresses Preference for Southern Girls." The following two days were completely miserable the professor admitted. U. 1. P.. Students Required To Report For Recheck All the students who have not gone back to the Infirmary for a recheck must do so immediately. At the beginning of the year all freshmen and new students were given a medical examination. Later all students were recalled for a recheck of these examinations. Reports of these examinations are made by Mrs. J. C. Madden. In order for these.reports to be made, these rechecks must be made.
