Acquital Won
By Defendant \
En Recent Moot Court
Mozingo Leads Defense Attorneys;
Brown Serves
State
A verdict of acquittal was wrung
from .1 wrangling jury by the three
law students who argued for the defendant
in the first moot court trial
conducted this year by the I,aw Fedoration
of the University Law school.
Despite the fact that the jury was
out for almost an hour, most of the
spectators remained to hear the vcrdict.
Circuit Judge C. J. Ramage who
is at present an acting associate justice
of the supreme court presided at
the trial.
John "Spot" Mozingo reputedly the
nations youngest law maker headed
the corps of three attorneys who won
the case. His assistants were Heyward
Clarkson and Bill Hawkins. ,
"The State" was represented by J.
Wiley Brown as solicitor and Paul
1'ittman and Oliver A. Rice. Besides
being a member of the legislature, ,
Brown is an instructor in public speaking.
The case was based on the alleged I
murder of Claude Martin by Robert
H. Norris. The state claimed premed- ;
itatcd murder but the defenses plea i
of an accidental shooting apparently I
carried more weight with the jury, j
The defendant claimed that Martin
ivas killed during a tussle which re- <
uilted from Martin's placing a gun ;
igainst the defendant's temple. ]
Both sides presented strong arguments,
probably climaxed by the dra- .
natic summary of Hey ward Clarkson J
>cfore the jury.

Of Office Rotation
No Vote Taken On Proposal
Whereby All Groups To
Share Offices
Plans for a regular method of rotation
of both sorority and non-sorority
girls for offices in the Damas club was
submitted to the members by Betty
I'avne at a meeting Tuesday afternoon.
No vote will be taken until the next
meeting so that the girls will have an
opportunity to discuss the proposal.
A committee consisting of a girl
from each sorority and one non-sororitv
girl will draw up a definite form of
procedure to be carried out from now
011. If this plan is adopted, a girl
from each sorority will be automatically
put into some office each year
The individual sororities will choose
the one they want for the position
held by them that year. The nonsorority
girls will also be represented
by one officer.
By this method, a sorority will have
i girl from that group for president
every five or six years, depending on
[he number of sororities represented
n the Damas.

senior leader for the next semester,

Baker Hopes
For Increase
In University Budg<
Claims Appropriation Must Be ]
creased If Standards Are To
Be Maintained
Or. L. T. Baker, president of
University commenting yesterday n|
the University's appropriation as rec<
mended by the Budget Commission
sued the following statement.
"It is highly important, if the st
dard of training and achievement of
University is to be maintained, that
appropriation be raised above that recc
mended to the legislature to at It
approximate request."
The University's request presented
the Budget Commission for the v
beginning July 1, 1935 amounted
$238,485. This amount was reduced
the Budget Commission to approximat
$170,000. However, it is hoped that t
will be raised to $200,000, thus allow
an increase of 10 per cent, in the pr'oi
sors' salaries.
This increase would raise the salary
a full professor from $2,287.50 to ah
$2,700. In the year 1930, a full profes
received $3,000. Most of the other
penses would remain stationary.

iradian Society
' Wins In Second Race
Law Student From Chester Elected
To Office Once Held
By Father
David Hamilton, law student from
Chester, was elected president of the
luipli radian society for the coming semester
at the regular meeting of the society
last Tuesday night. I lamilton was opposed
by I-lymic Rubin and Bruce Littlejohn
and was elected on the second ballot
after receiving only one less than a
majority of the votes on the first ballot.
Hamilton has been a member of the
society for five years and has previously
held the offices of vice-president and literary
critic. Two years ago he was president
of the freshman law class, lie is
the son of David Hamilton, Chester lawyer,
former state senator and one-time
president of the kuph radian society.
Other oflicers elected at the meeting
were as follows: vice president, Donald
Ham; secretary, Wilniot Brown; treasurer,
Vivian Morse: literary critic. J. A.
Berry; censor, Ira Koger; financial secretary,
Sam Rubin; reporter, Stokes Davis.
Luke \\ illiamson, retiring president
of the society, was automatically elected
to the position of custos forum. Brown
and Morse were unopposed, and were
elected by acclamation.
Before the election a heated debate was
held on a constitutional amendment to
abolish a number of minor offices in the
I society. The amendment was favored
| by llymic Rubin. L. D. Lidc and John
j C. Payne. It was opposed by Bill Doug|
las, Ira Koger and Werber Bryan. ProI
ponents of the measure claimed that the
j offices mentioned had become useless and
served only for political spoils. The opposition
appealed to precedent and asserted
that the offices gave valuable incentive
to the younger members. The measure
was defeated.
During the meeting Kd. Belscr and
j (ilenn Nelson were elected to member|
ship in the society and were initiated.
