The members of The Carolinian staff 1 u have not been selected yet due to the c - fact that Mr. Polier has been busy with v :1 The Gamecock and has practically lost a touch with the men and women who have a s taken a leading part in the publication - this year.

'T'he appropriation of $538,000 recom ended by the governor is greater than iat for any other educational institution the state, exceeding that for Winthrop some $50,000. This is a revercal of ie order of last year and of the several receding years, Winthrop having led te list for some time. The increase ver the appropriation of last year is so larger, both in amount and percent ,e, than is recommended for any Qther ate institution. Last year Carolina received, as can be etermined by the process of subtraction, ni appropriation of $400,000 and this icrease of more than one-third in the acommendation is a sign of recognition f the increasing needs of the state's ingle co-educational institution. This amount has not yet, of course, :en appropriated and it is doubtful if ie final appropriation will equal the mount recommended. But if matters ike their usuai course the appropriation >r 1926 will he considerably in excess ofj at for 1925. No detailed account of the appropria In has been obtainable but it is an ounced that $65.000, as compared with 15.000 in 1925, is to be used for making ermaneit improvements. The remain er of the amount is necessary for the laintenance of the present plant. Just hat improvements will be made if the [idget carries is not known. The amount requested was some $200, K) greater than that recommended. From iese figures it would appear that Car ina is not to obtain many of the things at it needs even if the recommendation .,dopted. But the increase is never ie less gratifying for, if passed, it will rovide the means for making some of e most greatly needed improvements at ast. One fact worthy of especial note is at 53 per cent of the total recommenda ons is allotted to the educational sys in of the state, over $5,000,000 being rovided for the purpose of bringing is state to a higher place in the rank percentage of literacy. -U.s.c.
