Moot Court To Try Azar For Kaiser Assault The day was warm and sunny. The place, the cafeteria. It was March 17, 12:15 p.m. We were working the day watch out of the Maroon office. My name's Pinky—l'm a reporter. A frantic girl screamed and jumped from the table. Tommy Azar had started a fight with Joe Kaiser. Four members of the law school witnessed the event and will try the case in Moot Court March 27. Your job—watch 'em. Spectators were sure it was peal. A few of them were even scared. But it was all. part of an act in connection with Moot Court, sponsored by the law school. Tom Azar will be tried for assault of Joe Kaiser. Attornies for the defense will be John Lambert, Roland Mestayer, and Frank Varela. Gerard Federoff, Kenneth Manuel, and Joseph Berrigan will prosecute. Witnesses described the event in the cafe. One frantic lady told reporters between sobs of hysteria: "Azar was eating and Kaiser began throwing paper at him. Azar asked Kaiser to stop it and Kaiser, gentleman that he is, said, pleasantly, "Aw, shut up." Azar, mildly perturbed, bounced • Daucer off Kaiser'* broad shoulder. Not satisfied with such a blood-less effort, Azar reached for a sugar bowl, but was restrained by bystanders and carried from the cafeteria sobbing hysterically and shouting "Sic Semper Tyrannus." The Moot Court Judge will be the Hon. Bernard J. Cocke, of the Criminal District Court. It will be Weld in the law school. The story you have just read is false. The names have not been changed to incriminate the guilty. For the outcome of that trial see the Moot Court. The date, again, is Friday, March 27, in the law school. A Maroon VII Production. TWO SHADOWED FIGURES INTERROGATE TOM AZAR in connection with the charge of assault on JOE KAISER in the Loyola cafeteria Tuesday. He will be tried in the annual mock trial March 27 at the court house. NEXT MAROON The next Maroon will be issued Friday, April 17 and will be followed by six consecutive editions until the end of school, according to Editor Gary Hymel. Reason for the lapse is final exam week and Easter holidays. The week in between, April 6- 10, will not have an issue because of committments to the national advertising service. Writer Geo.
