Johnson Payors Studes
Vote Of Confidence Given Joaey
Norwood As Some Question
His Intemperance
By Hugh R. Murchison
[ Celebrating the 33y$% cut in
salaries, the faculty council yesterday
decided to stage a "Bowery Ball"
at Ridge wood county club, according
to Professor "Billy" Caldwell of
the School of Veterinary.
"This ball will rival the infamous
f S. P. E. flop year before last. Plans
have not been definitely arranged, but
Chairman William R. Plaxico is expected
to see that plenty of fluid will
be available for the hot members of
the faculty," Dr. Caldwell said.
Some debate occurred in the faculty
council meeting on the point of
whether or not students should be
allowed to attend. At the conclusion,
Prof. Leila Johnson arose and said
that there was a sociological factor at
stake which would demand that students
be allowed to attend. Opposition
intimated that Professor Johnson
"just said that so she could make
a stude bring her to it."
A vote of confidence was given
Prof. Josey Norwood of the School of
Anthropology and well-known to anthropological
laboratory students

Sheriff Advises Callers At Columbia
College To "Strip
To Shorts"
Sheriff David D. Pcelc warned
Carolina men yesterday to stay away
from Columbia College if they would'
retain their belongings after several
investigations into reported robberies
netted three shirts, five watches, and
25 packs of cigarettes. No Carolina
student reported loss of money, but
four empty pocketbooks were found.
"We expect to conduct an extensive
investigation to see if we cannot locate
several other items that have recently
been reported as lost or stolen by men
who have visited the college," Sheriff
Peele said.
Jim Walters, Bill Cason, and Miller
Simpson have not recovered some of
their belongings yet, but they still
have hopes.
In the meantime, all students are
advised to empty their pockets and
strip down to shorts before entering
the parlors at C. C.

Through a wrong hook-up on a

electrocuted late Thursday afternoon
in the engineering laboratory. He
was head of the department of physics.
Investigation is being made into the
fatality by Solicitor Legare Hamilton
of Richland county.
While no report has been given out
by the solicitor or Coroner James T.
Higgins' office, it is alleged that the
accident was due to a mistake on the
part of Jim Gillespie and Ed Cannon

Holiday Given Students
$100,000 Goes To Extension Service
And Student Rake-Offs;
Baker Disapproves
By "Alfalfa Bill" Harley
An appropriation of $1,000,000 is
granted the University of Souf Calina
in the state appropriation bill passed
last night by both houses by over a
two-thirds majority. This is the highest
amount ever received by the institution,
almost trebling the sum received
last year.
The appropriation stipulates that
$100,000 will go to the extension department
and student rake-offs, while
the remaining $900,000 will be used
as directed by the board of trustees
and Dr. Ralph K. Foster.
In a special meeting of the faculty
early this morning, it was decided to
declare a holiday for today, in order
that faculty and student body alike
might recover from the shock.
"I am delighted that the gents up
yonder at the Capitol decidcd to give
us so much moil," Acting President
L. T. Baker said, "but I feel that the
state's money could have gone to a
much more worthy cause."
Dr. Baker pointed out that it would
have been much better to have contributed
this amount to the S. P. C. F.
(Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Freshmen) or to student permanent
loans.
Fritzphew Wellborn, University
treasurer, said he was glad that the
school was given so much "jack." "I
