To the teachers of the forty-ninth annual convention The (latnccock dedicates this issue with the sincere hope that lis careful and authoritative outline of the University's educational advantages will bring to them the realization that the state docs maintain a school thoroughly equipped to offer the best in higher education to both student and teacher. That the University centrally located within the state, geographically and educationally is fast becoming the mccca as well as the focus point of real high education is witnessed in the increased enrolment in its summer and graduate schools.

H. o.? DON McCALLISTER People like a man who docs things. Perhaps that is why Don McCallister has gone over so well at Carolina. There is something dynamically attractive about the stocky ex-high school coach from Toledo. He is an interested listener and an animated talker. His blue eyes snap and sparkle as he launches into an explanation of football or any of his many other interests. And there is a ring of sincerity and truth in all that he says. In the short time that lie has been here ?about two months now?McCallister has made football history in South Carolina. His greatest single achievement was the recently concluded Coaches Clinic, held at the University last week, ( the first effort of its kind in the state. Sports scribes and fans of Columbia were openly sceptical. "Oh, he may get twenty-live or so," one casually remarked. Seventy-eight high school coaches from all sections of South Carolina, many with players, attended the Clinic. Fourteen of them were former U. S. C. graduates. And 2,000 interested spectators saw the exhibition football game in the Municipal Stadium Saturday. . . . Not bad for a man who a few months ago was merely a high school coach from Ohio come to the University to try to bring order out of athletic chaos. And order has been brought. Almost military discipline characterizes the drills McCallistcr's fifty-odd spring football candidates (three times as many as were out last year) are put through. All waste in the issuing of supplies and equipment has been cut to a minimum. Uniforms, headgears, shoes, etc., arc all in the best of shape and will be kept so. lie has repeatedly told his men not to loaf on the field or play in the dressing room. He has emphasized the fact that football is more than a game, it is a business. The reason is simple. To Coach Don McCallistcr coaching is an honorable profession?one to be proud of?one in which work well done carries with it the same reward as in any other great profession. His job is not so much to mold athletic teams that will be a credit to the University but to build men that will serve the state. Ilis setting out has been auspicious. From him a new hope for collegiate and high school athletics in the state is emanating. May his same purposefullness of spirit and I courageousness of action be caught up not only by the student body of the University, but by all other colleges and high schools throughout the state, the hater to bring about the long looked for new day in South Carolina athletics.
