COLUMBIA, S. 0., FRIDAY, JANUARY 18. 1935 _ Don McCallisI Arr - ' < Brings New Assistants Warm Welcome Will Be Accorded New Mentor By University And Columbia Citizens Don McCallistcr, newly elected by the Athletic Advisory Board as head coach at the University will probably arrive on the campus Monday, January 29, according to Dr. R. K. Foster, student activities director. McCallistcr will thereupon begin to formulate plans for spring football practice and to outline the football program which he will direct next year as head coach. With McCallistcr will come Frank Patily, line coach, and Carl Stamman, back field coach, who were formerly on his coaching staff at Waite High school in Toledo, Ohio. Plans are now being made by University officials to meet the new coach upon his arrival. In addition to his reception by the University, tentative plans arc being laid by the merchants of Columbia to extend the Toledo mentor, a warm welcome. A parade and a welcome dinner in his honor is being planned. The highest of recommendations has been given McCallistcr. Endorsement by the leading coaches of the nation plus actual records of a successful career as high school coach in ihrec different schools has created very favorable sentiment in favor of the new coach promising a new era in football at the University. McCallistcr has already announced that spring football practice will start February 4. He is reputed to be the exponent of no particular system but uses a combination of all the systems ami largely adopts his methods to the material available and the opposition faced. Harold Mauney, ace Carolina field 1 general last season will probably be hired as a seasonal assistant. Final decision will be left up to McCallistcr Bryan Urges That Juniors Pay Fee For Junior-Senior Ball Committee To Be On Hand To Get Money During Registration Hours hach member of the junior class is urged by Werher Bryan, president of the class, to pay the 75c for the Junior-Senior reception at the treasurer's otlice during registrations for the second semester. A committee will be chosen to be present at all hours during the two days of registration. "Please let your officers have this money promptly as it will aid them greatly in completing the plans for the annual entertainment of the seniors by the juniors," Bryan pleads. All officers of your class would appreciate your cooperation and consideration for the work they are striving to do. Von may show your appreciation of their efforts and help facilitate their work by paying this small assessment immediately." | * : Boxers Leave 1 \ For Chi French Fraternity Has Initiation Ceremonies I en students were initiated in Beta ' ' I beta, national French honorary fraternity, last Friday night at the home of Mrs. A.

Acquital Won By Defendant In Recent Moot Court Mozingo Leads Defense Attorneys; Brown Serves State A verdict of acquittal was wrung from a wrangling jury by the three law students who argued for the defendant in the first moot court trial conducted this year l>v the Law Federation 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 verdict. 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 Hill Hawkins. "The State" was represented by J. Wiley Brown as solicitor and Paul I'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 murder of Claude Martin by Robert H. Norris. The state claimed premeditated murder hut the defenses plea of an accidental shooting apparently carried more weight with the jury. The defendant claimed that Martin was killed during a tussle which resulted from Martin's placing a gun against the defendant's temple. Both sides presented strong arguments, probably climaxed by the dramatic summary of Hey ward Clarkson before the jury.

'It is highly important, if the stanrd of training and achievement of the I liversity is to be maintained, that the propriation be raised above that reewn- 1 nded to the legislature to at least proximate request." The University's request presented to I : Budget Commission for the year ginning July. 1, 1935 amounted to 38,48.1. This amount was reduced bv : Budget Commission to approximately I 70,000. However, it is hoped that this j II be raised to $200,000, thus allowing increase of 10 per cent, in the profes- fr< "s' salaries. j de This increase would raise the salary of 1 T! full professor from $2,287.50 to about j 700.
