Gamecock presents in this Issue an interesting resume of the University's educational opportunities which it deems as highly significant at this time to both teachers and educators of the state idcalistically seeking selfprogress with the community and advancement in the cultural and scientific fields of human endeavor. To the teachers of the forty-ninth annual convention The Uuinecock dedicates this issue with the sincere hope that its careful and authoritative outline of the University's educational advantages will bring to them the realization that the state does 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 niecca as well as the focus point of real high education is witnessed in the increased enrolment in its summer and graduate schools. More recently the University in a careful analytical survey of more than one hundred and fifty colleges throughout the country was favorably placed among the first rank institutions when its scholastic requirements and standards measured up to the average as set by the survey. With these interesting facts in mind and with the conscious purpose of the convention in fostering better education in the interests of South Carolina. before us.

IT. B. O. DON McCALLISTER People like a man who does 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, lie is an interested listener and an animated talker. 11 is 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 lie says. In the short time that lie has been here ?about two months now?McCallister lias 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-five 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., are all in the best of shape and will be kept so. He 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 McCallister coaching is an honorable profession?one to be proud of?one in which work well done carrii with it the same reward as in any oth< great profession. Ilis job is not ; much to mold athletic teams that wi be a credit to the University but to bui men that will serve the state. His se ting out has been auspicious. From hi a new hope for collegiate and high sclio athletics in the state is emanating. M; his same purposefulluess of spirit ai courageousness of action be caught i not only by the student body of the Uii versity, but by all other colleges and hi* schools throughout the state, the hotter bring about the long looked for new d; in South Carolina athletics.
