Brings New Assistants
Warm Welcome Will Be Accorded
New Mentor By University
And Columbia Citizens
Don McCallistcr, newly elccted by tlic
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 prograin
which he will direct next year as
head coach.
With McCallistcr will come Frank
H Pauly, line coach, and Carl Stamman,
backfield 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 are
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 three 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
and largely adopts his methods to the
material available and the opposition
faced.
Harold Mauney, acc Carolina field
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 by 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. Rainage who
is at present an acting associate justice
of the supreme court presided at
the trial.
John "Spot" Mozyigo reputedly the
nations youngest law maker headed
the corps of three attorneys who won
the case. His assistants were I leyward
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 but 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 dra- ,
matic summary of Hey ward Clarkson
before the jury.

New System
Of Office Rotation
No Vote Taken On Proposal
Whereby All Groups To
Share Offices
Plans for a regular method of rotation
of both sorority atul non-sorority
girls for offices in the Damas club \Vas
submitted to the members by Betty
Payne 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-sorority
girl will draw up a definite form of
procedure to be carried out from now
on. 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 nonsororitv
girls will also be represented
by one officer.
By this method, a sorority will have
a girl from that group for president
every five or six years, depending 011
the number of sororities represented
in the Damas.
Irene Cliitty, Delta Zeta, was elected
senior leader for the next semester,

Baker Hopes
For Increase
i In University Budget
Claims Appropriation Must Be In- j
creased If Standards Are To
Be Maintained
: Dr. L. T. Baker, president of the
University commenting yesterday upon!
the University's appropriation as recommended
by the Budget Commission issued
the following statement.
"It is highly important, if the standard
of training and achievement of the
University is to be maintained, that the
appropriation he raised above that recommended
to the legislature to at least |
approximate request."
The University's request presented to
the Budget Commission for the year j
beginning July. 1, 1935 amounted to
$238,485. This amount was reduced by
the Budget Commission to approximate!v
$170,000. However, it is hoped that this
will be raised to $200,000. thus allowing I
an increase of 10 per cent, in the professors'
salaries.
This increase would raise the salary of !
a full professor from $2,287.50 to about
$2,700. In the year 1930, a full professor
received $3,000. Most of the other expenses
would remain stationary.
Ball Planned
By Beaux Arts
To Be Held In March
Anti-Bellum Motif To Be Used;
Gamecocks To Furnish Music
For Gala Affair
The annual ball of the Beaux Aits
club will be held the first Friday in
March and an antibellum motif will
be used it was definitely decided by
the club at a meeting last Tuesday
at the home of May Belser in Heathwood.
I
Present plans call for the Gamecocks
to play for the occasion. As yet therehas
been no decision made concern- 1
ing the location of the dance but members
of the club state that they hope
to spring a surprise on the campus
when the announcement is made.
Last year the club gave its first ball
with marked success. A Louis XV
motif was used and an elaborate program
was worked out. The club j
hopes this year to be able to duplicate I
its success of last year.
The club is composed of thirty members
of the departments of art and
music in the University. Officers of
the club are: president, John Gregg
Me Master; vice-president, Julian Bolick;
secretary, Marjorie Foster.
Plan No Change In
Spring Sports Program!
Any action regarding the curtailment
of the spring sports program at the
University must come from the student
body or their duly elected representatives
on the Athletic Advisory Board,
according to an announcement made Wednesday
by Dr. Ralph K. Foster, director
of the student activities.
Dr. Foster made his announcement to
counteract any rumor that the Athletic
Advisory Board had taken action to
cut down on the spring sports program.
Old Staff Replaced

The present issue of the Gamecock is
the last to be issued bv the old staff.
There will be no issue next week due
