Hughes, Shealy, Bush, Accompany
President; Letters From
Alumni Read
Appearing before the South Carolina
budget commission, Tuesday,
President L. T. Baker and several
members of the University of South
I Carolina board of trustees presented
the needs of the University and explained
items requested in the budget.
J. Gordon Hughes of Union, Cyrus
L. Shealy of Lexington, and M. F.
Bush of Ellenton, all members of the
hoard of trustees, appeared before the
commission with President Baker.
Letters were read to the budget commission
from Edwin G. Scibcls of Columbia,
also a trustee, and George
Bell Timmerman, president of the
Carolina alumni association.
It was shown by the record that
the appropriations for the University
have been reduced annually for the
past six years and that extraordinarily
large cuts were made in the past
two years. Since the beginning of
these reductions the student body has
grown from 1,400 in 1920 to 1,800 in
1931.
The salaries of all professors were
reduced, beginning January 1, a full
professor's salary dropping from
$3,000 to $2,550 with a prospect of a
15 per cent cut on this, owing to a
deficiency in state revenue.
The trustees arc asking for 1933

Mr. Coker, who is from Society
Hill, named the town the pioneer in
the historic Pec Dec. The town,
settled by the Welsh 195 years ago,
and now having a population of less
than 200 has given many leaders to
the state and to the nation.
In the long list of influential men

Few Withdraw
Says Registrar
Fewer Leave In First Months Of
This Year Than Since
1928-1929
Fewer students have withdrawn
from the University so far this year
than for the same time last year by
a large majority, according to an announcement
made by John A. Chase,
registrar. Not since the session of
1028-1929 have there been so few
withdrawals at the same period.
Only ten students have withdrawn
from the University so far this year.
Through October of last year 13 had
withdrawn.
"We arc very much encouraged by
this showing," said Mr. Chase.
This fact has been attributed by
some professors to the general depression,
which lias purged the schools
of almost all students, save those who
want an education and arc willing
to strive against obstacles to attain
it. The University of 19112 is no place
for the play boy or the weak sister,
it seems, and the work in general
has been on the up-grade, because of
the partial elimination of these and
other types of undesirable students.
Frosh Officers
Elected Saturday
Anion Harrelson of Mullius was
elected president of the frcshmai
class, at its meeting, last Saturday
in the University chapel.
Other officers elected were: vice
president, Randolph Murdaugh o

A group of over two hundred cheering
students, accompanied by President
Iv. T. Baker, and many prominent
students dignitaries, met the
University of South Careflina football
team Sunday night when it returned
from its gallant stand against Tulane.
With the consensus of opinion being
that the Gamecocks had fought one
of the greatest battles of their career,
the students were spontaneous in their
praise and led by Ira Willard, they
cheered the homecoming team wildly.
The players themselves, a little stiff
from their encounter with the Greenies,
