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.

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.

McMaster Sings
Over W. I. S.
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.
