The Uni,versity it s in the
annual appropriation ill of the
General Assembly, wh ch has al
ready passed the legisl ure total
$103.251.44. It is thou ht that
the. bill will meet the app oval of
the Governor. - This amou t does
not include an appropriati i for
the much needed law bui ing,
as this item has been post1 ned
because of hard' times.
Of much. interest to stu nts
and. friends' of the Univei i
generally is the item of , 00
apl)rolJriated foi- athletic pur
poses. '1 his nieans that with
the aid of students, alumni 'and
their friends,-a-new fence and
'gr ttdtand-' witi-be 'e'retdte"'r
Davis field on the corner' of
Green and Sumter streets.
Much agitation has been carried
on in behalf of better athletic
aceommiodations here at the 'Uhi
'versity and it is gratifying to
see this result. Much of the
credit for this item should no
doubt be given Mr. Wade and
his committee.
Another item of interest in the
appropriation is $12,500 for the
extension of the heating plant.
This amount will be used to sup
ply LeConte and Thornwell col
leges i-with steam heat. Steam
heat is much more sanitary and
it is hoped that all the buildings
of the University will soon be
provided with better heating
apparatus,
Some other appropriations foi
the University included in the
bill are: for maintainance and
salaries, $'7,877.19; scholarships,
$4,400; department equipment,
$1,394.25; summer school $1,500
ient on -co-eds' home and pro
fessors' residences, $1,380; and
other items, total inc;uding ath
letics and heating plant appro.
priations, $103,251.44.
The legislature has been very
liberal with Carolina for sucl
pressing times: and although

Urged to Ilnyi$Pirends.
To meet the convenience of!
the college girls and for other
minor reasons the S.ocial ,tom
mittee has found it necessary
to postpone the mid-year recep-.:
tion that was planned for Mon
day night until Friday night. 1
In spite of this delay it is still
hoped to make the coming event
the happiest of the .eason up to,
date and the committee is now
hard at work in the preparation.
The occasion is to be modeled
in. general outline along the lines
of the freshman reception that
was such a success at the begin
ning of the year. The college
rgirls are expected in 'force. A
eoipet'rit '"S 6erlri Cornmit
tee" is to be appointed and the
faculty and their wives are to be
4haperone . The, occasion will-.
b one of the inosi enj4yable
ever if the. students :ooperate
and invite their town. 'girls..
The co-eds have' 1onis'ed to in,
vite' their friends. Refresh,
ments will be served by several
of t,he smaller campus girls.
,The committee is already at
work on plans for Easter Week
and they hope to make aster.'
Week even more delightfu than
the several very delightf l Eas
ter Weeks' thatf have gone be

Petition Legislature.
The junior and senior law
classes have separately petition
ed the legislature for the return
of.$25 of the $65 tuition, the
seniors giving as their excuse
that their tuition wa-i catalogued
at $40 when they entered.
The legislature acted fa'orably
1 for the seniors but the r.everse
for the juniors. However, a sec-,
ond petition by the juniors will
put the matter up to a newvote,
and it is jsossible that they may
also be refuinded, that is if the
house 1asses favorably; the sen
ate has passed favorably.

BASEBALL PRACTICE IS
CENTER OF INTEREST
About Thirty Men Have Re
pprted for Practice.
Coach Smith Wants 'More Men
Out-Guy Gunter Has
Se\:otd' Sfquad.
About thirty men answered
Coach Smith's call Monday for
baseball candidates, when Iactive
practice was begun. Only light
practice ias been indulged in so
far, consisting of hitting, infield
and outfield work. It is Coach
Smith's purpose to divide the
men into two squads, one under
his supervision and one under the
control of Guy Gunter, graduate
manager of athletics, who was
himkelf a' playe 'of no mean a
bility.
Among the old men who are
out again are Stoney, Plaxico and
Richards. Langston has a badly
spi'ained ankle and will be unable
to get into action at present.- Hor
toi, 4bhW 6as :d therhbet'Of the
1913 team,' is out and showing
old time form. The failure of
Rudisill'and "Babe" Adams to
return to the University has left
a large gap to fill. These two men
had beer "counted on; hnd their
loss will prove a gYeat 'blow to
the team.
Froth the above"it Will be seen
'that Coach Smith has to develop
practically an entire new infield
and a Yuv pitching staff. 'At pres
4nt there are only" two men who
have had ATy'previous experience
i the box, Flowerk and' Smith,
{oth of 'whori pitched at Presby
terian College at Clinton.' The
burden of 'the box will fall upon
these men. There are, however,
several other men who are trying
out for the pitching staff. "Fie"
Fullenweider, old Columbia star,
and now a member of the Bufla
lo International league pitching
st.af(Y, *ill assist in 'developing
new pitchers. Fullenweider win
ters in Columbia, and for the
past two'ears has practiced on
the U iersity'field before report
ing to his elu'at their training
quarters. He will be valuable as
sist'arned to Coach Siith.
As yet no definite line can be
obtained on the inner works of
the te:m. The work so far has
byeii only yrdliminary. The loss
of Shuler, the two Riudisills and
Edenu will be felt very much.
But with the we.alth of material
on hnen '('oilh Sn ith hores to
