Moot Court To Engage By FURNEY I Staff R A three man team from th compete with a team from t the regional round of the Na1 Court at 8:30 A. M. today in Young Demos Predict Win For Adlai Troy Hyatt, president of the university chapter of the Young Democrats, struck an optimistic note as the campaign rolls into the final week by predicting Stevenson would receive 276 electoral votes. The key states, New York, Illi nois, and Pennsylvania, will be in the democratic column, Mr. Hyatt forecasted. He conceded the state of California to the Republicans. The southern and border states will be solidly behind Stevenson and Sparkman, he said. Mr. Hyatt admitted Eisenhower has more popularity with the uni versity students than Stevenson, but claimed the General's sup porters were split between the In dependents and Republicans, giving the Young Democrats the greatest strength on the campus.. This statement was backed up by a straw poll conducted by the Euphradian Society, with the re sults printed in another newspaper. In this poll Eisenhower had 67 Independent votes and 38 Repub-. lican votes; Stevenson 86 votes. The story stated Eisenhower led. The Young Democrats head took issue with this statement, saying that according to South Carolina lawv Stevenson led. The electiori law of this state says that votes cast for the same nominee on dif ferent party ballots cannot be counted together. Other candidates receiving votes in the write-in poll were Pogo, four votes; Vincent Hallimon, Progres sive candidate, one vote; Socialist, one; Progressive, one; J. Strom Thurmond, one, and Marilyn Mon roe, one. The results were a fair Indica tion of student sentiment, Mr. Hyatt said. The Young Democrats are now soliciting donations for the na tional campaign. The money will1 be sent to the National Students for Stevenson Radio and Television Fund, Mr. Hyatt sati Blackwell, Golden Win Tournament Fred Blackwell, of Cayce, an Harvey Golden, of Columbia, rep resenting the University in a preliminary debate tournament at New York, won first place. Among the other colleges represented were Fordham, City College of New York, and Columbia. On the trip up north, Blackwell and Golden stopped at Charlottes ville, Va., where they debated with the University of Virginia on the subject of FEPC. Blackwell and Golden won the dual debate. At the debate tournament at Wake Forest over the holidays Robert Holmes, of Columbia, and George Couch, of Easley, won first place. The women's negative team, composed of Alexia Broughton of Columbia and Shirley Paquette of Asheville, N. C., came in second place at the tournament of Wake Forest. Miss Broughton won the third speaker's award, thereby being the only girl to place. On November 15 the University will be the host in another debate tournament. Prof. M. G. Chris tophersen of the English depart ment of the university is the coach for the debating teams. Law Team Virginia [EMINGWAY eporter. e University Law School will he University of Virginia in ional Inter-Law School Moot the courtroom of the Federal District Court in Columbia. Jack D. Simrill, Columbia; Jacob H. Jennings, Bishopville, and Roger C. Pierson, Old Lyme, Conn., will represent the University Law School. The right of a state to control the ownership of land within its borders versus the rights of man as defined by the United Nations Charter and the United States Con stitution will be the question before the moot court. The case centers around an alien, prohibited by law from becoming a citizen, who was deprived of his property under a state law which provides that only citizens may own land. The alien sues the state, attack ing the confiscatory law as a viola tion of his Constitutional rights, as a seizure of his property without due process of law. He also claims that the Charter of the United Nations, to which the United States has pledged adherence, forbids such restrictions on landholding, render ing the law null and void. Judging the moot court compe tition will be John J. Parker, Char lotte, N. C., judge of the Fourth United States Court of Appeals; E. L. Fishburne, Walterboro, and Taylor H. Stukes, Manning, asso ciate justices of the South Carolina Supreme Court.

The couple will attend classes Thursday and Friday and give a combined lecture and display of their works Friday during the 10 a.m. chapel program. William is a specialist in the field of woodcarving and sculpture work. Most of his work is inspired by his study and observation of plant life. William .Muir is a native of North Dakota and studied at the Minneapolis School of Art and the Art Students League of New York. During World War II, William Muir's abilities in woodcarving were used by the United States Navy in the artificial leg depart ment. Emily Muir, a native of Chicago, Illinois studied art one year at Vassar College and then studied sculpture at the Art Students League of New Cork. Her portrait drawing and painting work was done under Winold Reiss and Richard Lahey. Emily specializes in Maine coastal scenes, portrait heads, and children's portraits. She has held five one-man shows and exhibited her work at several universities and museums. In some of his lectures on wood carving, William Muir said, "In the first place, you've got to keep a good supply of wood on hand. This keeps your mind open and lets it grope for the possibiiiues hidden in each piece." Emily agrees with her husband in the philosophy of art and says, "Practically any layman can be made aware of some of the beauty of nature, and by knowing how to observe the manifestations of form, composition, and color, he will appreciate a little more what he sees and hears. I do not agree for a minute that you better not paint at all unless you can paint well. It's much better to produce something than nothing. Any per son's best is not worthless." Since their marriage in 1928 the Muirs have traveled the West Indies, Guianas, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. These trips were made for the purpose of executing paintings and dioramas for steamship companies and travel bureaus. The Muirs have combined fine art with commercial art.
