Legislature To
Recommend Cut
In All Salaries
Professors 'Affected
. . .i
Scale Of Salary Reductions Adopted
By Ways And Means
& Committee
L__
A slash in professors' salaries varying
from 15 per cent for part-time instructors
to 33 1-3 per cent for department
heads has been recoms
mended by the ways and means committee
to the legislature.. All state
employees will have their, salaries reduced
proportionately as now planned
in the recommendation of the committee.
A salary scheduled for all items of
personal service was adopted. The
scale of salary reductions adopted was
as follows: .
Salaries up to $399, reduced 5 per
cent.
From $400 to $1,000, reduced 10 per
cent.
From $1,001 to $1,250, 15 per cent.
From $1,251 to $1,500, 10 2-3 per
cent.
From $1,501 to $1,800, 20 per cent.
From $1,801 to $2,100, 25 per cent.
From $2,101 to $2,400, 20 per cent.
From $2,401 to $2,700, 27 per cent.
From $2,701 to $3,000, 30 per cent.
Above $3,000, 33 1-3 per cent.
In sonic cases, in the higher group
of salaries, these reductions combined
with those made in 1931 amount to
a total cut of approximately 50 per
cent from salaries prior to 1931.
$1,400,000 in salary items alone is
the estimated savings to the state by
these proposed cuts, and will give a
surplus on the basis of estimated revenue,
as given in the budget report
" of about $2,200,000.
"The committee in making these reductions,"
Chairman Bennett said,
"was actuated by a relaxation of the
difficult and calamitous condition of
industry in the state and by the necessity
of providing for the retirement
of the state's deficit in order to preserve
the state's credit."
The reductions in salaries apply to
members of the house and senate as
well as to other employes. -It was
estimated at the meeting of the committee
that state officers protected by
the constitution from salary cuts
would, as patriotic citizens, not take
advantage of that protection.

Political
Pot
Politics are getting off to an early
start this year. Two of the greatest
political battles of the year have already
been fought?The Gamecock
election and the Clariosophic election.
To the casual observer these may not
seem to amount to much, but to the
campus politicians they indicate that
the student body is in for a grand and
glorious year of political battles.
l'or the past year and a half the
campus has been dominated by the
Culbertson element. During this time
he ruled sunreme but he received a
set back ir The Gamecock election.
W hether h 'an recover from this
remains to ,e teen.
In The lecock election, it seems
that "Cotton" did not like the staff's
nomination for editor. He brought
l'P an opposing candidate, but failed
to elect him. There arc too many
members on the board who think for
themselves for him to dominate them.
The Clariosophic election also threw
a bombshell in the Culbertson ranks.
Troy Stokes, his candidate, won over
J. Sam Taylor by the narrow margin
of three votes :n one of the closest
races witnessed by the society in recent
years.
The Clariosophic society is the
stronghold of the Culbertson faction.
In the elections last fall all of the
Culbertson backed candidates were
elected by acclamation. But now
three months later, they only have a
three vote majorjfy. What will
happen in the next three months?
Although it is too early for the
May Queen candidates to announce
themselves, we have heard rumors
that several young ladies arc consider'"g
throwing their hats in the ring.
All of these arc very beautiful with
charming personalities and would
niake ideal queens of the May. It
^'11 be several months yet, however,
efore we can tell who is backing
^ho and which one has the best
c ancc to win. More details will be
S'ven later.

Board Praises
Late Head
Of University
Express Appreciation
Trustees Pass Resolutions On The
Death Of Dr. D. M.
Douglas
Resolutions on the death of Dr.
Davison McDowell Douglas, late
president of the University, as passed
by the board of trustees are as follows:
In the early hours of a new -day
while deep in the heart of his family,
and beloved by his fellows, Davison
McDowell Douglas peacfully crossed
the Great Divide. In the strength of
full manhood; in the front rank of the
State's leaders; at the peak of a distinguished
career, he responded to the
last call that comes to men on earth.
His many offices of honor and trust
have been published repeatedly: to
recount them here, would be mere
repetition.
The Trustees of the University wish
to express, in a simple manner, their
profound and sincere appreciation of
the life and work of the deceased. His
association with us was that of a man
frank, fair, truthful. He always
worked with the Board?not over the
Board. His declarations were strong
and full of equity?never evading, and
striking forward boldly. His conceptions
were broad, clear, constructive.
He worked with youth and inspired
youth; he labored with men and led
them forward.
He came to the University as a distinguished
college president, and his
four years here added to this distinction.
Faced with many trials, difficulties
and petty political obstructions,
he wrought with a sure, determined
hand?holding high the torch
of learning, and insisting ever upon
sound scholarship.
Coming from a long line of educators
and ministers, he carried his dual
role as well as any, and better than
most. Kindly in spirit, warm in sympathy,
he possessed human understanding
of more than ordinary proportions.
His, the genial smile: his,
the helpful spirit; his, the grip of comradeship;
his, the heart of a man?
strong and gentle?firm and fair?
courageous and calm. We may well
say of him that he could "talk with
crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings?nor lose the
common touch."
The Board therefore, desires to express
its great appreciation of his
association and his work, and its profound
sorrow at his passing. ' The
State has lost an ideal citizen?patriotic
in bis service, and devoted to
its betterment; the University has lost
a distinguished president and able
leader; the Board" has lost a beloved
friend and counsellor.
Now, Be It Resolved, That this testimonial
be incorporated in the minutes
of this meeting; that it be spread
upon a special page dedicated to the
memory of our late president; and
that a copy hereof be sent to the
family of the deceased, with full assurance
of our sympathy in the irreparable
loss.
Signed:
Cyrus L. Shealy,
James H. Sullivan,
Geo. M. Wright,

Professors Get
Lost In Suburb
Three University professors in one
car got lost twice in Heathwood
recently.
They were going to and returning
from a session of the Kosmos Club
at the home of Irvine Belser, Carolina
alumnus.
Doctor Wauchope, and Professors
Davis and McKissick composed the
party.
Before setting out, the first and last
observed that they did not know the
way to the Belser home.
"I am thoroughly familiar with the
territory. I'll show you the road,"
said Professor Davis.
Ten minutes later the car, after
turning into Heathwood, went deep
into dark dense woods.
"We took the wrong turn," Professor
Davis admitted. So there was
an about-face. In a little while the
right road was found.
Pilot Davis again controlled directions
on the homeward journey.
"Now, be sure to turn down by
that light," he told Doctor Wauchope.
The latter turned by that light.
In five minutes all admitted that
they did not have the dimmest idea
as to where they were. Road,
houses, aspect of the country were
wholly unfamiliar.

Student exponents of dancing at
Ohio Northern University have won
a partial victory in their campaign to
overthrow an ancient ban on dancing
at the school.
1' raternity brothers and sorority
sisters, under rules announced by university
officials, now may dance to
radio and phonograph music twice a
week in fraternity and sorority houses
off the campus, and they may have
three formal dances with orchestras
in the coming year.
Students recently declared war on
the old ban, but were rebuffed by
university officials.
However, when it was announced
that a meeting of the Board of Trustees
would be held in January, university
officials decided to canvass
the 800 students and ascertain if they
wanted to dance. '

requiring a $2 fee of freshmen accepting

Renovation Oi
Room Is
The historic old hall which houses
the Clariosophic Literary society has
recently been completely renovated.
A few weeks ago, a committee was
appointed by the society to see to the
accomplishing of needed repairs to the
hall. Their work was done well, and
now the quiet beauty of the hall is
enhanced and brightened by a new
and beautiful color scheme. The
walls and ceiling have been finished
in a pale green to which the gold of
the trimmings is contrasted.
The president's desk has been repaired
and refinished, the darkness of
the mahogany and the brilliance of
the green and gold trimmings producing
a very pleasing effect. The
beautiful and valuable presidents chair
which stands behind the desk has been
reupholstcred and restaincd.
