This amount in cludes seven endowments varying from $2,000 to $10,000. Twelve additional fellowships are provided for in scholarship funds, foundations, trusts and loans. These range from $100 awards to four-year scholarships. "These scholarships are small in number in comparison to scholar ships at other universities," stated Robert G. Bell, chairman of the scholarship committee. "We know of no other school with fewer scholarships than the university." Stressing the desperate need of scholarships, Mr. Bell explained _ that the need presented opportuni tie to fraternities, sororities and other campus organizations to pro. mote scholarships through their in fluence and contacts with peopk who are able to establish scholar ship ioundations. e Many students are not aware o a some of the scholarships available g Bell explained, using the Law rence M.

(UTSC photo by Mu.a, New Life Wise To Present Consolidation Bill By JOE MOLONY Editor-in-Chief Rep. Joseph F. Wise, Jr. of Charleston, announced to The Gamecock Wednesday that he would re-present- the Peabody Report on the floor of the House of Representatives in the form of a bill when the legislature convenes the second Tuesday in January. Having been a co-author of the original bill suggesting the Peabody Report, Representative Wise is familiar with the far-reaching possibilities of the report. It's one of the greatest steps we could take toward con solidating programs of higher education in the state," he said. Representative Wise added: "I was on the five-man com mittee which considered the report in 1946 and found it then, just as I do now, a favorable means of benefiting higher education in South Carolina. It will stop constant fighting between the state-supported colleges and will elim inate some of the favoritism shown a few of the schools." The original report was introduced as a bill by Rep. Hugo S. Sims, Jr. of Orangeburg. It passed in the House of Rep resentatives, but it has been buried in a Senate committee room since 1946. Since there has been a turnover in the General Assembly since the report was passed in the House, it must go back to that body who will vote on it. If it is passed in the House it will be referred to the Senate again. The Gamecock's editorial stand in favor of the Peabody Report, drew a vote of confidence from Student Council, the representative student government of the university, at its meeting yesterday. Council delegated The Gamecock to send letters and questionnaires to each member of the General Assembly and all other interested parties and to publicize its findings in next week's issue. The Gamecock was desig nated to handle all publicity pertaining to the report. Council appointed a five-man committee on consolidation of control of higher education among state-supported insti tutions. This committee will handle all incidentals pertain ing to correspondence, research and contact work directl) relating to the Peabody Report. The Gamecock was given a general idea of the purpose and definition of the report on its editorial page (page 4). However, copies of the 435-page report may be secured from the McKissick, Caroliniana and Richiand County libraries, the State House, and from most law firms in Columbia.
