Application of the $325,000 appropriation made the University in the Senate revision of the finance bill would be left to the discretion of University authorities for use as they deem best. F. M. Welbournc, University treasurer, expressed approval of this arrangement. The University would receive $325,000 under the Senate bill as compared to $290,000 in the House bill. Withrop would receive the largest increase of any college under terms of the Senate bill, $00,409. Clemson would be increased $53,000, and the University $26,000. Like Clemson, Citadel, and Winthrop appropriations, the University item is placed in the Senate bill as a lump sum for college authorities to distribute as they see best for the operation of the institution. The main ? proviso is that the entire sum be used for maintenance.

Although the average colege student is supposedly too ideaistic to consider the benefit of his edication in the terms of hard cash, icvcrthcless a few will be interested to earn the interesting facts gathered by he eminent statistician, William \therton Du Puy and released in the Carnegie Tartan. While the high school graduate may ;xpect to earn only $110,000 during ' lis life span, the college graduate will :arn $175,000 according to the report if Mr. Du Puy, executive assistant at he Department of the Interior, who las just completed a statistical study )f the earning power of education. The high school graduate at 22 will let an annual income of $1,500, which "epresents the maximum of the av;rage income of the man with gramncr school education. The college graduate begins to earn at the age of 12, reports Mr. Du Puy, without takng into account the abnormal conditions due to the depression. He starts off at less than the grammar school graduate earns at the same age, because the latter has been working for years. The college graduate's income rises rapidly by the time he reaches the age of 26, but that of the high school graduate mounts more slowly. When the two are between he ages of 4:* and-48, $Cv,cbllege m^n's earnings arc usually at a ' pofrit -..of rapid increase and the high school trained man's income is stationary and [lis momentum is slackened. When the college man reaches 60, he is earning $-1,000 a year, and at 70 his income Jrops to $:},5C0. 1 Will On Trip Soon Galloway And Hankins To Debate Against North Carolina And Wake Forest T. C.
