University Appropriation Would
Be Placed In Lump Sum By
Finance Committee
By John Giles
The Senate finance committee increased
the University appropriation
in the 1032 appropriation bill $26,000
this week, but the additional fund and
other increases given Winthrop and
Clenison trembled before an onslaught
of the economy group in the Senate
as it prepared to adjourn today.
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.
The Citadel was the only college
in the state decreased in the Senate
was the only institution in<K
crcascd in the House bill over last
year's appropriation and the Senate
decrease practically equalizes the Citadel
item with the other increases,
finance committee members explained.
The presidents' salaries at the State
institutions is fixed at $6,000 in the
Senate finance bill. This is the only
important specified expenditure in any

Almost 200 Men Enroll To Study
Causes Of War And Prevention;
Professor's Aid
Ten groups, meeting each Tuesday
night for the next four weeks, have
been organized by the University to
make a study of the causes of war and
its prevention. The groups have enrolled
about 200 members to date, but
many more students are expected to
join in the next few meetings.
The two largest groups are the
Thornwell College led by Prof. Jack
Crawford and Legare College led by
Dr. S. M. Derrick, each group having
28 members.
The subject for the next discussion
will be "The Militaristic Spirit As A
Present Menace To World Peace".
The groups and their leaders are as
follows: Legare, Prof. S. M. Derrick;
W. Rutlcdge, G. Wittskowsky; E.

Be Maintained
A study hall for the benefit of students
will be maintained in Davis college
for at least a month, according to
R. G. Bell of the Personnel Bureau. Its
sessions will be held from 7:30 to 10:30
o'clock every night during the week.
Present plans are to continue the
study hall for a month, and if the attendance
of students warrant its upkeep,
it will operate to the end of the
term.
Students who wish to enjoy the obvious
advantages of this arrangement
should come out as often as they feel
necessary.
This system has proved to be popular
in the past with students wishing
to have assistance in their studies.

Education Is
Evaluated By
Noted Expert
Fixes Value At $65,000
Statistician Compares Incomes Of
Grammar High School And
College Graduates
By Millie Taylor
The pecuniary value of a college edication
has been estimated to amount
0 $65,000. 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.
