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

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.

3aker Hopes |]
For Increase
a University Budget ~
aims Appropriation Must Be Increased
If Standards Are To j
Be Maintained j .
Ur. I.. T. Baker, president of the
liversity commenting yesterday upon
" 1 '"versity's appropriation as recom;nded
by the Budget Commission is-1 '
cd the following statement.
'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. In the year 1930, a full professor j
reived $3,000. Most of the other exlses
would remain stationary.

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
I-uphradian society fur the coming semester
at the regular meeting of the society
last Tuesday night. Hamilton was opposed
by Ilymic Ruhin and Bruce Littlcjohn
and was elected on the second ballot
after receiving only one less than a
majority of the votes on the lir.n ballot.
Hamilton has been a member of the
society for live years and has previously
lcld the offices of vice-president and literary
critic. Two years ago he was president
of the freshman law class. He is
the son of David Hamilton, Chester lawyer,
former state senator and one-time
president of the Kuphradian society.
Other officers elected at the meeting
were as follows: vice president, Donald
Ham; secretary, Wilmot Brown; treasurer,
Vivian Morse: literary critic. J. A.
Berry; censor. Ira Koger; financial secretary,
Sam Rubin; reporter, Stokes Dans.
Luke \\ illiamson, retiring president .
">f the society, was automatically elected
lo the position of custos forum. Brown
md Morse were unopposed, and were
elected by acclamation.
Before the election a heated debate was
lield on a constitutional amendment to
ibolish a number of minor offices in the
society. The amendment was favored
i.v Hymic Rubin. L. 1). Lide and John
C. Payne. It was opposed by Bill Douglas,
Ira Koger and Werber Bryan. Proponents
of the measure claimed that the
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
ft'as defeated.
During the meeting Ed. Belser and
Menu Nelson were elected to meinber*hip
in the society and were initiated.
